I was rummaging around in the cold room, sorting out what alcoholic delights were there and thought a little sketch of some of the bottles with the light shining through them would make an interesting compositions. this is a tiny piece 2.5 x 3.5 and may well translate into a large painting, but that may have to wait a little longer.
The intricasies of painting glass intrigue me. The subtle colour and value changes as well as hard and soft edges that give glass its unique appearance are all very acheiveable if you take your time and look at it like a puzzle. Putting one piece in at a time and suddenly you have glass!

So glad you found time to paint this....It is beautiful.
I only recently found your work and love the portraits you have done but this just has such a lovey feel to it.
really nice colours :) I think it would look really interesting blown up, very abstract looking but you could still tell its glass.
A lovely painting. Drawing and painting glass has always been a favorite subject of mine. You do a great job here with color and texture and of course communicating light.
It's hard to believe this is so small, but I think smallness adds to it's charm. It's beautifully composed and painted--I especially like the shapes and reflections in the bottom part; very intriguing.
It's beautiful. I love the soft color palette--I'd have recognized it as yours anywhere...
