Masterful Bonsai, Brilliant Pots & Glimpses of Monet & Van Gogh 3/31/17

Especially for someone who enjoys brilliant ceramic art and equally brilliant bonsai.

Here's Ryan's caption for this Ogurayama pot, "Ogurayama creates some of the best winter scene painted containers I’ve seen, from any painter.  This piece is sublime, with just enough color to focus the attention on the figures crossing the bridge.  The demon feet are a great touch, and show his carving work in addition to excellent painting."

Two sides of the same pot by Ogurayama. Here's Ryan's caption,   "Two sides of a fascinatingly colored rectangle.  The upper seems like a Monet, the Lower calls to my mind Van Gogh.  Really interesting and unique style here."
