Glass Jar Study

4" x 6" original watercolor
SOLD

This is a study for a new painting. I wanted
to practice the clear glass against a painted
white background. This helped me work out
the problems before starting the big one.


Here is the
drawing for
my next painting.
24x18"
All clear glass!
I am ready
to start
painting.


You probably noticed I missed blogging on Monday.
I had to get up early and drive to MD to pick up
Rashetta. Rashetta came to us when she was 7 years

old as a fresh air kid from Queens, NY. After the first summer
she came every year for the whole summer and we
managed to add holidays. Now she is 24, put herself
through college and has landed a good job with Intel and
is living in CA. We are very proud of her.
She is home for a short visit.

Rashetta
and a
proud Dad.





Man I love when my girls come home, Linda
does the Mom thing and cooks up a storm.
Every favorite food gets whipped up and I eat
like a king!! I did manage to paint today.
