Hello folks here are four more vessels I have made recently, continuing to experiment from the original black and white piece that I made a few weeks ago I have tried some other colours.

The blue doesnt do it for me for some reason but the oher 3 all look superb. The 4 seasons came to mind initially. :thumbs:

I was wondering George if plain BoxWood could make it easier for real strength perhaps your undercoat masks just any timber, The effect is almost Spiritual. How do they go in the Gallery mate.? Do you turn plain Acrylic for the object ?

thank you for all of your comments

I use an artist spray varnish with a UV inhibitor in it Terry.

i use straight grain woods Peter for the vessel and yes the white background covers it, the galleries don't really want stock at this time of year so I haven't tried them yet.
