Boy was I ever surprized one day when an old car enthusiast identified the make, model and year a one of the cars in a painting of mine. He had been looking for one at one time to build a canoe out of the hood of the car. Now I really needed the skinny on that one, so he told me that he had one hood, and wanted to get another to weld back to back, and thus create a canoe. I loved it!

Yet another latest work piece, "Panda" measures 16" x 20" When I used to set up at antique shows, a small child aproached me at one, and asked, "What is this chair seat made out of?" I told her that it was called 'cane', and it was made from strips of bamboo shoots. She decided that I must be depriving some panda bear of a meal, so I gave her some strips of cane, and told her to offer it to the next panda that she happened upon. It seemed to make her happy. Unlike most of my reverse glass art, this reverse painting is done on plexi glass. That was only because it was available. At least it will probably never break.

A piece of contemporary art , with the photograph that I worked from. I didn't know the man before, but I almost felt as though I did after the painting. The gentleman who hired me to do this, needed it to be a reverse painting on glass so that it would mount in his hand crafted coffee table. The award winning coffee table was constructed by his father.

This is the latest work that my husband, Richard has finished. Now that winter is back, he is at it again, working out in the shop on more lathe art. This one measures 25" x 25", and the price is $58 plus s&h. The most recent pieces of my work in reverse painting on glass, and my husband, Richard's work in lathe art. This is the page where you can find his and my most recently finished paintings. For me, these are the reverse painting on glass, exciting paintings, second only to the work still in progress! This is where you need to be to see contemporary art in reverse painting on glass. After the painting is complete, and this takes several time-consuming steps, it needs a backing to protect the paint from being scratched off the glass. Even the wire to hang it with can scratch off the paint. For the smaller paintings in commercial frames, a snugly fit piece of cardboard is usually enough. For the larger paintings or the work done in window sashes, I cut thin plywood to fit, and attach it to the back of the latest work.
