Red Frozen Pond by Sara Hale Bates

One more plate representing so popular today Frozen Pond technique (Kathy McGuire). The plate has an intricate scalloped edge, giving it a floral or petal-like form. The color palette is dominated by rich, deep reds, with a fascinating pattern of circular, almost crystalline shapes in the center. These shapes feature a gradient of colors, transitioning from soft pinks at the core to a bluish-gray around the edges, creating a mesmerizing, almost textured appearance. The overall effect is both striking and delicate, with the detailed pattern adding depth and visual interest to the plate’s design. Success!
