Dear Laughlines,

Thanks again for noticing my work.  You asked how I go about painting glass, and so I'm going to try and answer that as best I can.  

If you are painting glass, don't think about the glass- just paint what you see.  If an object is seen through the glass, but distorted, just paint the distortion.  Paint the colors you see, the shapes you see- but you aren't really painting the glass, just what is viewed behind it.  

It's a matter of turning off your brain and turning into a kind of lens.

Hi again,

  All is OK--I wasn't insulted--just confused.  Keep you chin up.  Life can stink but art can heal.

Thanks for taking the criticism well.  It's somewhat difficult to critique on the web without being able to show emotions or have a regular conversation, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

Thanks for the compliments about my work too.  The butterfly mural was completed in January.  It's the most recent mural I've painted.  At the moment I'm busy building my watercolor portfolio and working on pet portraits!

I applaud your opinion on my sea lion, two fins flapping.

Thank you for visiting and commenting on my graphite drawing.  I really enjoyed looking at your work, too.  It is great!  I am a Christian, too, and am just stepping out into this new career.  it is scary at times - but hopeful.  Lucinda

Hello Nancy...and thank you.  "Going Bridal is pen and ink markers...including metallic ones...that's how I get the golds and silvers. Your work has a lot more feeling in it than this particular piece I just finished...I guess that's why I don't really like it too much.  It became a technical study of silver and gold, silver and gold...I need Frosty the Snowman to SING IT!
