Maiolica-Majolica I

These two bowls were my first attempts at Italian Renaissance Maiolica. The shields in the center are often seen in maiolica from this time and place, also the bowls on little pedestals with opposing handles are an oft used design .

I let the idea of maiolica rest for a few years. I liked them, but it took so very long to complete the painting that I concentrated on other things for awhile. But more to come.
