An Unexpected Occurence

Oil painting on slab-built earthenware ceramic. Gold leaf to handle, rim and spout.
You know the feeling - when you're naked, about to have tea, and a green doppelganger pops out of the mirror...
I began painting a few years ago, using the ceramic surface instead of a canvas. So instead of hanging the thing on a wall, it goes on a shelf instead.
