Fourth Annual Small Treasures Show

White on White 6" x 6" acrylic $60 (framed) Baby Beltie II 6" x 6" acrylic on canvas $60 (framed) I am so excited because I just found out my 2 paintings above were both accepted into the Cary Gallery of Artists 4th Annual Small Treasures Show! This year's show was juried by acclaimed North Carolina artist Mary Roundtree Moore . The Opening Reception is this Friday night from 6:00pm to 8:00pm and the show runs through March 28th, 2012. The gallery is located in downtown Cary in Ashworth Village, (along with other galleries and shops), if you drop by during March to see the show. My Great Web page

Catching Up and Fused Glass!

Second Project- playing with reactive glass Sushi Plate and Bowl I realized this past week that I haven't been keeping my website updated. This has been one LOOOONNNGGG winter! I haven't painted as much as usual, or as much as I'd like to, but I have been taking some glass fusing classes, which I LOVE!!! I'm so obsessed and totally ready to buy a kiln; however, my husband thinks we need to clean out the garage first, or something silly like that...whatever! During my first class at Carolina Stained Glass in Durham, NC, we learned some basics. Cutting, kiln temps, different ways to paint on fused glass, etc. Below are some projects from the class. Enjoy! First project- full fused (flower) and tack fused I had seen some similar colors used with silver foil that created a cool reaction. We're not allowed to use silver because it contaminates the kiln, so I played with some dicrotic glass (the silvery blue) to create a similar look Jimm
