This floorcloth was designed to be used in front of the kitchen sink in an elegant home. The room itself has white cabinetry, black granite counters, hardwood floors, and accent ceramics in cobalt blue and white. The adjoining breakfast room has sunflower gold walls and the spirit of Provence. The homeowner is someone who is clearly not afraid of color. I created it for a couple with Asian roots who describe themselves as loving French Impressionism, flowers and butterflies. I drew the palette from the walls and pottery, and the irises from Van Gogh (with apologies). The cobalt blue borders were created of many coats of deep blue glaze with an embedded leaf design that suggests a Chinese silk brocade scroll.
