In the painting was a woman wearing a thin translucent red scarf and you could see her clothing through it. I often think about that because it fascinated me that he could paint something which seemed impossible to convey that way.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082031887238694358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1161863243510750752006-10-26T07:47:00.000-04:002006-10-26T07:47:00.000-04:00Dear Carol,So it´s a good idea as giving yourself ...Dear Carol,<BR/>So it´s a good idea as giving yourself a pre-Christma's present :)<BR/>I don´t know if when you've been to Italy you went to Venice...in Rialto you can find a little boutique with Murano hand-made jewelery,I bought some necklaces and I wonder how beautiful paintings you could do with the light reflections through them.<BR/>I read something about the colours you found in Spanish wines...Have you ever come to Spain?(I use"come"'cause I´m Spanish)Would you like to?What are your favourite painters/paintings?<BR/>Thank you for your comment,it was a nice surprise!!<BR/>Smila.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1161857187000729032006-10-26T06:06:00.000-04:002006-10-26T06:06:00.000-04:00I look forward to seeing your impressions of more ...I look forward to seeing your impressions of more glass!Darren's marbles in glass jar I love but YOUR<BR/>*cafe' flore* such skill.. perfection for me! <BR/>Artists and musicians...delight our senses!Thank YOU!<BR/>another request*paint my **sunflower!**Naturegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00177418253271097079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1161837528925439892006-10-26T00:38:00.000-04:002006-10-26T00:38:00.000-04:00It's good to check back in here to see what I wrot...It's good to check back in here to see what I wrote about painting glass..I'm struggling with painting all kinds:a bistro glass, a Pierre Herme "Emotion" glass full of mysterious green & pink ingredients (the ingredients have mysteriously disappeared - only the empty glass is left :) and just my hotel water glass.
