This decorative bowl was turned from white ash and has a wide rim that has been decorated with various shades of blue, green and gold and white acrylic paints. The paints were poured in a wet layer near the center of the bowl and tilted to cover the entire surface and allowed to interact, creating all kinds of intricate cells and patterns. The paint was then top-coated with several layers of high gloss polyurethane to provide protection and depth to the final finish. The back of the platter features simple curve from the base to the rim. The bottom of the foot has been decorated with a textured medallion which serve to demonstrate that the bottom of the platter was turned with as much care and attention to detail as the rest of the piece.
