"Old Stoneware Jug and Egg"

This is a old handmade jug I found at a tag sale long ago. I love the drippy glaze and natural shape it has. My setup for this was a single 40w overhead light and the egg is real and rather translucent but picking up the light shining on the table.

"Bluffs on the Buffalo River"

This is an awesome river! It's light is magical and sounds of the river are calming. If you have never been you should take a trip to float it or just spend the day beside it. This is a small study done with a pallet knife.

"Empty Nest and Robin's Egg"

 

They work so hard to make such a perfect little home and then when the babies are grown and fly off on their own, the parents go on vacation, and the perfect little nest, adorn with baby feathers, is abandon.

"Old Bottles and Robins Egg" Original Oil Painting

A couple of old bottles surrounded by seeds, nuts, berries and a Robin's egg. I have shelves full of these old bottles and when I'm in the mood to paint glass. The largest one is probably an old whisky bottle that was dug up somewhere around Chicago. It has a film of calcium deposit on the inside that makes the blue glass really glow under overhead lighting.
