People and Places in Reverse Glass Paintings

Some people and places in reverse glass paintings you may recognize. Try real hard.

At first, I was afraid to put people and places in reverse glass painting. The very thought of painting a portrait was a scary thing for me. What if someone was insulted? What if I painted them in a way that they might not approve of? What if someone were to look at one of my paintings, and say "yucky." Thank goodness I got over that. My recovery coincided ironically or not, when I painted painting of my second oldest daughter with her nephew.

Though my daughter did prove to be a wonderful model for me to take advantage of for people in reverse glass paintings, I did begin to move on ot other people in painting on glass.

Another thing that helped me overcome my fear of painting faces, was that I was painting portraits of wild animals all the time. Did I ever stop to worry about how they might feel about something not being perfect? No one seemed to object. So many places are so much the way that I'de always like to remember them; it was good enough for me to want to get them right the first time.

When this painting was complete, I felt that it had been completed. There was nothing more I could have done to it to have made it a better place.

This is a reverse painting on glass, in a window sash, of my sister, Sue's carraige house. The outside dimensions of it are 57.5" x 28". From the time she started building it, years ago, I thought it was BEAUTIFUL. I wished I had been one of her horses, so I could live in it. The price is $220.

The day I took the photograph that inspired this 'people and places' in reverse glass paintings, may well have been one of the most beautiful days that I ever lived. My sweet honey and I went to a picnic that my daughter and her friend held at his camp on Oneida Lake. I shot about 4 rolls of film. We ate, visited with my daughter and son in law and their children, and had a wonderful day. This is only one of the reverse paintings on glass that were started from that day. The price is $140.
