Stanton Englehart
I grew up next door to Stanton, Pat and their kids. Their daughter was one of my best friends.
I highly recommend that you check out this site about a wonderful artist.
Stanton is suffering from Alzheimer's now and no longer paints. It breaks my heart and I feel so strongly for Pat now that she is his caretaker.
I love them both and bought this book in support of them.

After receiving the book and seeing the work he produced in the 80's and 90's I almost wish I hadn't left Colorado. Isn't hindsight great? Imagine if he had been my art professor in college. The more I read about him and how he paints the closer I feel.
You can view and purchase Stanton's work at Toh-Atin Gallery in Durango, CO.

Grackle
Not a glass piece... my other medium or mediums. I like watercolor and ink. And I LOVE grackles and other black birds :-)
Water and Fire
I was introduced by a friend to http://laughingcrowstudio.blogspot.com/ and wrote a comment to a post in her Blog. I don't often write in ways that seem coherent, lol, I'm an artist not a writer. But I liked what I wrote so I wanted to include it here in my Blog.
I personally strive to not be realistic, which normally emerges because I crave order and rules. I also take very little in the way of instruction, just the basics, so I learn to express my own heart and being not just copy someone else's style. I love watercolor and glass because they will do what they will do. You can make them be exact like painting watercolor in a dry brush style, or making things of stained glass... but once you add water or heat they will do what their nature tells them to do... I can only point in a direction and watch as the medium becomes a partner in creation instead of a tool.

Orange Frit & Gold Mica
I'm real happy with this so far. I love the gold mica under the pebbles and how they sank into the surrounding glass. I need to grind the sides some to get the shape ready for slumping.
Mosaic with Frit
I need to do some grinding on the edges to get them real smooth and even before it gets slumped into a serving dish.
11" Blue Square
I thought I was going to slump this as a dish, but after seeing the light through it I might try to find a stand for it.
Frit & Dichro
I'm real happy with this 7 1/2" disc. I don't think I'll slump it. Hope I can find a good upright stand for it.

Fiesta Mosaic
I added this to my new web page as a for sale item. I think I'll make them for all the glass I have for sale on Etsy. My web page will at least LOOK impressive! lol

My Flying Heart
Enameling is the fusion of a special powdered glass to metals. The glass can be applied using different techniques, but all methods use heat to melt the powder.
This piece has had the most interest on my Etsy shop.
