This painting by my uncle, Steven Brown, is probably from the late 1960's. He and my aunt live in the redwoods of northern California, where he makes large sculptures from the wood burls on their property.
My plate is hanging on the right, which I based on a pattern from the mid-16th century Turkish Iznik period. I have been making ceramics at the continuing education center in Santa Barbara for the last year. Classes just started up again, and I am working on some new plates..
