This is an original, one-of-a-kind painting by Norfolk, Connecticut-based artist John Funt entitled Pale Leaves/Clay Pot, 2019. Featuring a vintage wood frame chosen by the artist specifically for the painting.

From the artist: "The iconic clay flower pot is hard to improve upon. Its patina is shown here and it holds the pale leaves of cyclamen in my greenhouse."

About the Artist: John Funt

Born in 1953 in New York City, John is the son of the late Allen Funt, creator and longtime host of the TV program Candid Camera. John studied art with sculptor Rhys Caparn at the Dalton School in New York and with painter Joseph Slate at Kenyon College in Ohio. He later worked as a designer of events for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and then as a designer for Tiffany & Company. For many years since, John has devoted himself to painting. He is based in Norfolk, Connecticut.

"I literally divide my time between the studio and the adjoining greenhouse and garden—both provide a needed refuge. I will take a plant cutting to the easel and paint/study it. I celebrate patterns in leaves, petals, textiles and happily disappear into the process!"

These paintings are inspired by my greenhouse and garden, primarily, and celebrate the palette I see in the plant world accentuated by each season.
