Odd Man Out



Odd Man Out.

6x6in oil on canvas board   SOLD

Yes - that is a lime on top of the lemons.
Running late as I was painting on something else today and forgot the time.
This is a Mexican, hand-blown glass bowl with deep, greeny blue tones at the base.
Heavy, but lovely with its imperfections.

    I love how you are handling the impression of glass. "Lemonade" was also exquisite! Karen B.

    Again lemonade was made with a palette knife, expertly handled. You know exactly where to put the right touches.

    You are on quite a roll! The blue of the glass is exquisite, as is the lime on top- and everything else!!

    Would you ever consider making a video and posting it on YouTube? I know I'm not alone in wanting to watch you make this magic.

      There is a lady who has made a video of me doing a few demos for the Guild. I can ask her to look at them and will let you know.

    Rich yellow with flickering cerulean blue blicks. And the fresh green on a top, like a cherry on the cake.
    Superb!
