I love rain. I love the smell just before it hits. I love the sound it makes; the feel of it on my skin on a warm day. I love the salty taste of it on my tongue. And I love the ripples on the surface of the puddles, spreading, spreading, spreading. When I rain down on others, what kinds of ripples do I make?
Goblet and Shells
Well, I forgot to photograph the initial sketch again. I just get too excited to start paining! I've enjoyed this short series of goblet paintings. It's been fun to search around the studio and find things to match up with the goblet. It's also been fascinating to see the similarities and differences in the reflections in the goblet as I pair it with different colored objects, as the light changes each day, and as I play with different background colors. It's been a great study in painting glass and playing with light.
