Description

This lovely art bowl sits on the buffet in my sister-in-law's dining room, and I've always loved it. (I bet she doesn't even know I took this picture! You know what a sneak I am!) :) The walls in Cindy's dining room are green, which is why you see a bit of green picked up on the bowl. I postworked this image two ways - one with the entire image in color and one with just the bowl in color, and this one showed off the burlwood graining much better. It's a richer look. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! :)

I always admire those with the woodworking skills to create such beauty from nature. Lovely image and rich color, indeed!

It is a shame about the damage, but it still is a wonderful piece of wood, so rich in warmth, colour, texture. I wonder how many hands have held it and caressed it. This bowl shouts out at you to hold and caress it. As much as I want to hold it I would also be afraid to lift it, it looks so fragile, but I would want it on show as well. Out in the open where I could stroke it as I passed by. It is an awesome piece Tara, and you have done a great job in capturing it. Priceless beauty! Wonderful. Bravo!!!!!

Love the reddish ambiance and textures in this capture, my friend. Even though it is a bowl, it looks so much like the tree bark photos that various members post on RR. Incidentally, when I first saw the title I thought the pic was a shot of the local bowling alley.
