Jacquie
(14"x11" pastel on gessoed 300 lb. w.c. paper)
Jacquie and her husband John (who's portrait will be my next posting) are the creative talent behind Aven-Hill Pottery (this is a link to their Facebook page). They have had a booth at the Old Strathcona Farmers' Market for the past 19 years!
Of course we own a number of pieces of their fine craftsmanship and plan on investing in more.
Every morning I have the pleasure of enjoying my tea from one of their beautiful mugs. There is something nurturing about sipping a beverage from a piece of handcrafted pottery... it reminds me to slow down and enjoy life.
A little bit of gratitude with each sip!
Looks like someone recognizes one of their humans...
