Lemons with Stoneware Jars

 

To truly paint something you have to get into the mind of the object; therefore, if you think like a stone(ware), it's a piece of pith.

I've painted this small copper jug many, many times, which reminds me of the old saying, little and often fills the persimmon.

Onions with Saucepan

 

I painted this at my partner's place where I'm still trying to figure out the lighting.  Though I'm fairly confident that I know my onions, I wasn't sure how the pot would pan out.

Not much to offer in the way of a pun I'm afraid, just this lane excuse for word play.
