This is a Stephen Pearce bowl bought in West Cork probably in 1991 when we visited just after Paul was born. I love the bowl but I'm not sure about the feelings it inspires as I've always loved Cork (I was born there) but lately I feel I've lost the connection. Anyway, I thought I'd Google the name and see what's new and found out that Stephen Pearce is also a painter and has a few words about his process that I thought were interesting, here and here.
HB, B and 2B pencil.

SENSATIONAL BOWL!! THE SMOOTHNESS AND DEPTH AND UNDULATIONS OF THE INTERIOR, FELICITY -- JUST OUTSTANDING!
Cracking bowl Felicity! I also think the clematis on the previous post would be a good thing to do with your watercolours??
OOooooh, this so excellent! You've got the shine perfect. Awesome job!
It's not only a beautiful drawing but a beautiful bowl. Love it!
Wow! No kidding... best bowl I've seen from the bowl challenge. You're good.
so beautiful
Im going to attempt this challenge
I love the reflection, you've drawn the shiny texture so well!
Thanks all for those lovely comments, they are really inspiring and encouraging!
Yes, Mattias, 100% English accent, 100% Irish blood!
I can not only see but feel this bowl. It looks as if you really enjoyed doing this drawing.
Thank you for the link. I found what SP says about colour and how he found his subject thought-provoking.
Oh this is AMAZING! So smooth, very beautiful!
It is perfect, Felicity!
An absolutely beautiful drawing Felicity. We're hopelessly late in discovering it, but delighted to come across it!
We've been on quite a journey since then - closing in 2008 and re-opening in 2010. You'll find us once again on www.stephenpearce.com!
Thank you very much! So glad to hear things are working out again for you. Coincidentally, I'm going to be booking flights to Cork today (!) so hopefully I'll be adding to my collection again!
