Flat Glass to Slumped Glass

Showed several kids during the dance and they loved them.

The fired pieces

They look great! Brice, the fruit is nice and smooth, and Donna, the flowers look so soft with the additional frit. The trees are being slumped and will be out in 24 hours.

Glass Making Weekend

Had an intense weekend with some of our family doing warm glass. We watched movies about glass artists, cut, layered and fused pieces - two shifts on Saturday - Brice was a slave driver. It's so fun to teach someone else how to make those beautiful creations!

Bridger Valley Fall

Colored Pencil in Sketchbook

It's been a beautiful fall. This is looking toward the Uintas on my way home from work. The blues of the mountain range behind the golds and yellows of the valley make a delightful drive.

Watercolors

Cottonwood Lake Road
- a great little side trip.
The scanner decided to crop an inch all the way around, but the road is the important thing.

Cottonwood Lake
There was a platform over the water in the '30's used for dances, and I believe a sawmill too.
I'm working at getting contrasts. This is a combination of watercolor and w.c. pencils - I feel a real need to control where the color goes. I guess it's the residual effects of years of pen and ink.

By the way - the art show in Cheyenne worked out really well.
Many pieces are now happy in new homes. The majority of the acrylic and colored pencil sold.
I am smiling even though the profits about covered matting and framing costs.
There's just something about knowing people out there will actually buy your work.
I wonder about adding a serious gallery to this blog. Hmmmmmm.
