China Painting as a Hobby

I have enjoyed china painting for a number of years. Here are some examples of my fun.

 

This is a 16 x 24 picture. I painted the roses on a porcelain tile and a friend framed it for me.

 

Porcelain eggs are quick & fun to paint and can be displayed year around.

 

Most of my china painted pieces were done on bought white china, but I poured and fired these two vases.

 

These were so much fun to do!

 

This was enhanced with enamel after I china painted it.

 

These tiny little boxes were done with china paint decals and burgundy paint added. The inside has a matching rose design in the bottom.

 

I painted the inside and Handel and rims of these pitchers with pink glaze. I high fired them and then china painted the roses.

 

 

These are a few of the cup & saucer sets I china painted.

 

This is a left handed lemonade pitcher.

I painted one for myself and one for our left handed son, Tony, and his wife, Lisa.

 

This is one of my favorite pieces.

 

These were the first two plates I painted.

 

These are in my kitchen.

 

I was learning to paint grapes with this one.

 

I painted this one during a china painting seminar.

 

This was an early one.

 

A wonderful teacher of mine, LaFon, painted this lamp for me. I commissioned her to paint three more.

 

This was one of the first ones I China Painted.

 

I commissioned an artist, Kay Houston,

to paint this plate for me. She does a wonderful job!

 

I bought this LaFon Mason plate in her Estate Sale.

 

This is the top of one of the lamps LaFon painted for me.

 

This is one of our old painting classes. LaFon is the one in green. She was a wonderful teacher. We always told her she had a magic brush.

 

This was part of the china painting group at the Mineola Art league after LaFon passed away.
