Twins

I picked up these little glass cube candle holders at the Flea Market while Don was otherwise occupied ;) He has a 6th sense about my shopping for 'props' and tries to head off some of my purchases with, "do you really need that?". The answer? "Of course, I do."

Wow, I dont know how you have managed to do a painting of glass and the glass really looks like glass (if you understand what I mean). In other words, I like it very much, it looks so realistic X

Fantastic painting.

Funny, I was at a thrift store looking for subject matter just today. :)

Love the sunny hot feel of this painting and it is definitely glass.
See you soon.

The qualities of glass must be so hard to capture, but you have it down really well. I think you should do wine glasses next. First go shopping to get glasses; choose the best possible lighting; get all the gear in place; recheck the lighting, fill wine glasses with primo quality stuff; recheck the lighting; quaff the contents and make a picture that looks like this one but with stems.
