I was given a broken Westerwald piece of pottery seen in the painting. The top was totally gone and it had no spout. Well you know what artistic license is? I created the spout and top in my mind. The other objects I still have them in my studio, which were arranged so as to form one part of a laden table at a late night soiree. It was painted in 2005, it only recently came off the attic. Although we had an exhibition in our village, we were not ready to part with it as yet. I think it is just absolutely stunning. The overall size including the frame is 81 cm (high) by 96 cm (wide) and 4 cm deep click on the upper right of the main photo, to give you a view of its size in a room setting. Painted on a rigid paintable and endurable panel with quality oil paint and homemade artist medium. The palette of colours is remarkably small, only 6 colours and white.

All art by Jos Kivits

The feeling of holding something in your hands that is hundred of years old, like the pewter and the ceramic Japanese vase, gives me a feeling of agelessness. It vibrates through my entire body and to spend weeks painting something like this climaxes to an explosion in my imagination. A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.
