Red Sheep and Halloween Candy on my Porcelain?

Some illustrators work with watercolor on paper, etc., and on Porcelain as well.
But, why Red sheep? Well, some years ago the Huntington Theatre Company, Boston, Massachusetts mounted a fabulous production of Leonard Bernstein’s “Candide.” For some reason they had Red, instead of White Sheep, on stage. Inspired by this performance I made some porcelain set designs based on the characters and sets in wood frames, and saved my sheep. The nesting pitchers, triangle plate and dish are my original porcelain slip caste designs, with my in-glaze B & W plant designs. Hope you enjoy a different kind of Halloween inspired still-life here.
