Eldreth's paintings range in size from 12 X 12 inches to 4 x 4 feet. A potter by profession, Eldreth's sense of proportion and instinct for design can be seen in these originial paintings.
His unique brushwork is no doubt influenced by his decades of working with salt-glazed stoneware and redware pottery. These traditional American pottery forms were typically decorated with bird or nature motifs and quickly executed by the potter during the glazing process.
Eldreth, owner of Eldreth Pottery in Lancaster County, has been using such techniques for more than 25 years.
