Reverse Glass Painting Blog

February 3, 2012 Here it is the end of winter, and the only place we have skied is out in back of our house. Pitifull. It's the same thing everyone else has said; "this is winter?" But I have stayed busy painting, and out in the work shop. My husband and I now have a pine plank cieling in our bedroom, and are working on the same thing for my studio. A long time friend of my family passed away a few months ago. He turned wood on the lathe, and was the best at it. Last summer, he had turned most of a piece of mahogany for me, into a table leg. He was unable to finish it because he said itt had a double twist in the rope turning. After he passed, I was compelled to finish the table leg, and carved it out by hand. Wood carving is something I never tried before, and on Bob's behalf, it had to be perfect. There are times when I surprize myself! Will be finishing it this weekend, and still hoping for snow.________________________________________October 5, 2011 Here at home, work progresses on the reverse painting on glass. When my daughter got married last month, of coarse I took pictures. One of these shots shows her slim figure leaning toward the cake with the knife, balanced on her left leg: her left hand picking the piece off the top of the cake. To me it looked like a fairy painting the wimg of a butterfly, so I have already begun the painting! There is also a great grey owl in progress in another painting. So much to paint, and so little time!________________________________________
