From in a glass or bowl of water to at the surf line or in shallow water in the ocean. Its definitely on the cards for some setting up some compositions. <br /><br />The beach unfortunately is fairly inaccessible in winter unless we have a big thaw. But marbles in the snow could be another possibility...Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-77819778065629113902012-02-09T03:43:55.283-03:302012-02-09T03:43:55.283-03:30Love the vast space on the right and the whirl in ...Love the vast space on the right and the whirl in the marble - as if it's about to start rolling any minute.<br /><br />I collect marbles for that very reason - they are tiny perfectly round worlds, endlessly beautiful, even the simplest of them :) Did you ever think of painting marbles in the water? I saw a photo once where low sunlight was hitting a bowl of water (or something like this, it was a close-up shot with only some of glass container showing), and the reflections and spots of color that glass and water were throwing all over the palace were stunning!Yelena Shabrovahttp://shabrova.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-12189844904863596012012-02-08T14:35:01.322-03:302012-02-08T14:35:01.322-03:30oh wow, this is coming along beautifully! fun, you...oh wow, this is coming along beautifully! fun, you must be having fun! can't wait to see it completed! enjoy!suzanneberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702748663139114422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-63716152029296413382012-02-08T13:24:04.408-03:302012-02-08T13:24:04.408-03:30Have fun, I can't wait to see the results.Have fun, I can't wait to see the results.Lisa Le Quelenechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939073566444931704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-12547010373620511562012-02-08T07:17:33.285-03:302012-02-08T07:17:33.285-03:30That so true Christiane.

Marbles at the surf line, marbles underwater...you know you're sending me to the beach with a pocketful of marbles once the snow clears, don't you? ;)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-15730198708586183582012-02-08T05:39:24.296-03:302012-02-08T05:39:24.296-03:30There are similarities in the light refractions an...There are similarities in the light refractions and reflections between waves and marbles, maybe that is it? Maybe combine the two some how? There's a challenge :o)<br /><br />I really like the way that you get the colour of the glass and the composition, the diagonals give a great tension. I find myself thinking is the marble rolling away or toward the edge.
