So today is SUPERBOWL SUNDAY! No other TV event captures the American audience on a grander scale than this battle of the turf. I've always thought it was funny how some stores will run special ads for "Super Bowl Widows", when surveys tell us an equal to higher percentage of women watch the game as do men. So have a great time today experiencing the game and the party that goes with it. Be safe and use good judgement in driving!On a ceramic note, isn't this a delightful Lladro piece? The design seems so gentle, yet as it expands towards you it seems to say I'm grown up now and ready for the game. Lladro choice of somewhat muted colors has always lended itself to their sculpture. Unfortunately being able to paint this ceramic would mean you had found an illegal piece of bisque as it is copyrighted, and there are no ceramic hobbyist molds available. But there is a lot to be learned when we study artistic style, and then apply that style to pieces we get get. Wouldn't it be fun for Lladro to come teach a seminar for ceramicists.
Llardo is one of my most favorite ceramic/porcelain companys...next would be Lenox. Their attention to detail incorporated with their own unique style and meduim choice sets them apart....to be able to take an kind of seminar/class/tour instruction with them would be like working and being instructed by the masters....a Leonardo DiVinci of sorts in ceramics and porcelain.
