December 7, 2024 — Elaine O.

As the year winds down, I've been finishing up sketchbooks, using up palette mud, and testing out ideas and techniques.... which is just a way to say I've been dithering around in my sketchbooks. I'm very close to actually finishing my Paris sketchbook. Also, I'm still playing with transparency, color and shine...


...as well as transparent, shiny clear glass...


...and birds, since I found them so intriguing a few weeks ago.


 All this, while circling around more serious ideas.

  1. I think the parrot steals the show. Reminds me of those Monk Parrots of Hyde Park. Wouldn't he look good on the head of some gargoyle?

  2. Still fun painting glass. The goblet might be too outlined by those thick dark lines. I too went through a bird phase. To this day some of them are my favorites.

  3. A parrot with the countenance of an eagle! There are lots of beautiful birds out there if you want to fall down that manhole. Your glass studies are great, but what more serious ideas are you contemplating ?

  4. Your definitely a pro now at glass and what a nice little parakeet that posed for you too.
