Experimenting with side light from iPhone didn't work. I had to use the camera flash to get a good photo. This is a small vase from my older sister's treasures bought in China. I don't know what the taller lady is doing - waving a ukulele ..or... a fly swat!
Thankful for:
A challenge from Katy..(@grammyn ) re water colour painting...its set me thinking.

Lovely vase. Looks Japanese to me. I'm thinking it's a geisha lady shooing away some naughty children with her fan! But what do I know!?

[Babs]

Looks like a bit of a domestic going on and she is chasing the chap away ha ha

[Maggiemae]

@onewing Me as well!

[Wylie]

Nice tonal match

[Karen]

cute vase

[Lou Ann]

Oh I think that’s a fan to keep the central figure cool. Quite a nice vase.

[Peter Dulis]

Works well with the matching background

[Mags]

A lovely capture!

[Nada]

Love how it blends into the background.

[Kate]

I agree with Peter Dulus - the background works well with the vase

[Judith Johnson]

Your comments made me smile! Super capture

[Diana]

Lovely shot of this beautiful vase, love your comment :)

[katy]

A terrific shot and I have to agree about the lady . It does look like a ukulele but is more probably a fan. Can't wait to see your painting!

[Bep]

A lovely capture!

[John]

He interesting oriental art is. So unique!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn What shall I paint, Katy? I think my paints will have all dried up after years!

[Maggiemae]

@pdulis That's an effect from picmonkey, Peter.

[katy]

@maggiemae Well, MM I think you should paint whatever you want to for starters but you can look at the link I gave you for some ideas on what the rest of the group has painted recently

Looks like the lady is fanning the children to keep them cool- what a job! Nicely captured!
