Glass is Hard!

This week a friend, Mollie Jones, came for a visit. She is one of the best painters of glass I know. We had a little mini class one afternoon, and after she left, I set up a quilt I made with a bowl that was an anniversary gift, and worked really hard trying to get a glass look! Whew! it is not easy. especially with out Mollie standing beside me!
The glass with the grapes is what I did with Mollie's help. 

Workshop in Cloudcroft NM

I have been in Cloudcroft NM For a week taking a watercolor class from Laurie Goldstein-Warren.

It was a great and fun class. I learned a lot I hope! I hope I can paint more cityscapes and glass when I get home. These are both Half sheets. 

The Triplets

The Triplets
12x12 stretched canvas
Torn Paper Collage

I am still doing cupcakes for the series, and I have a funny story about this piece. Before I did it, I drew it off, and named it, 'The Triplets'. I thought since all the other cupcakes were colorful and different I would make these 3 all the same. I had just made a batch and they were all the same, so I thought . why not have one alike. So, when I got through, I took a picture of it, and put it on the computer, and ask Ken if he would go look and see what he thought. I had not mentioned any names. He was looking and said.."What is this? Triplets?" I thought well, I at least got my message across! (For some reason they remind of Coke cans!)

A Touch of Red

A Touch of Red is another attempt of doing glass. This is just a 5x7, and worked up pretty fast. I tried to add a lot of reds in the background but was distracting I thought, so I just added a couple little touches.
