July 26, 2025 — Elaine O.

Here it is in all its glory—a bathroom window. I loved the light bouncing around all the reflective surfaces, framing the solid backlit plant. I tried to rely on color rather than value to get that effect and I think it worked. At any rate, I am very happy with the way this turned out.

After all that dancing visual patterning, I wanted something calmer and simpler (and easier?). Same bathroom, but a more serene corner. This may be a study. I like the composition, and I like the blue-green color, but the paint has some opaque white in it and it feels chalky and splotchy. I do like that liquid soap bottle, though!

Makes me wonder if I've found a new series—bathrooms?

  1. I’m thrilled with the way this turned out. One of my favorite things you’ve done. Glass is not easy but you’ve done a great job with it. I’d like to see more plant though. I cropped it when I zoomed in to look at the flowers and liked it better when the plant had a larger presence.

  2. The first one is splendid. Simply splendid. The second is, well, not as splendid. Not its fault, it doesn't have that spectacular symmetry. It does have that corner in the middle though. Maybe a darker blue on the walls and some reflected light on the tiles. But what do I know?
