Leaves of this tree contain eucalypti oil. This oil is used for medicinal purposes, including for mental clarity. This lamp attempts to portray a simple way to prove this to yourself, by just gazing at the moon. If you stand looking up through a eucalyptus tree at a full moon, many of the leaves reflect a silver light. Like a Christmas tree with silver bulbs, many leaves will stand out amongst their darkened neighbors and shimmer brightly.
On this lamp, the leaves are rendered in either Emperor’s Gold with a translucent red heart, or lavender with a Silver central vein. Scene from the reverse side these leaves shimmer in a bold red and silver. The leaves appear to be fish swimming in a moonlit pond.

This lamp is inspired by a photo of peeling paint. There is a Peeling Paint Appreciation Society (PPAS). It’s on Facebook. If, like me, you are looking for a graphic resource which you can inspire your own creative activity, the PPAS is a gold mine. Their discoveries reveal a breadth of color and graphic composition that leap forward and proclaim, this way to freedom of expression.
There are seven separate glaze layers applied to this lamp.
This lamp is derived from a photo that is attributed to the creative eye of Mark Muller.
This dramatic puzzle background becomes a roadmap for a scatter of woven of scorched horse tail hairs. They create the wiggly black lines .

A doodle, following a suggested musical clef, wanders all over this lamp. Ever look at the back of a high school notebook? The good ones are filled with doodles. These are a mental escape from all that dead air in the classroom. This doodle tableau becomes a roadmap for a scatter of woven of scorched horse tail hairs. They create the wiggly black lines .
All of this is depicted against a fire cracker red. It’s transparent around the middle band and finished with a high gloss top layer. My wife says she’d pay someone to get it out of our house. But they’d have to fight me.

Shown amongst my other photos for this piece, is one by Ms. Camille Martin, TA based artist, poet, photographer. I discovered her work displayed by the “Peeling Paint Appreciation Society.” Like Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole, my imagination just tumbled into this image. I applied my typical guidelines; first simplify, then exaggerate. In my accent lamp glass media, the image has no edges. It just flows.
Two colors encircle this accent lamp. The black is labeled “Illusion Midnight”. The orange is a 50/50 mix of “Cosmic Sassy” and “Spanish Fly”. The curved streaks are clear glass. The wiggly black lines are scorched horse tail hair.
“Pelling Paint” is now featured on ARTSY.net, one of the world’s largest platforms connecting art lovers and collectors!

A white mist blankets a lake. You are gazing at it through a drapery of ginkgo leaves in fall colors of golden brown and yellows . The name of these colors: “Spanish Fly” and “Orange peel”. Beyond, a crimson sun streaked with clouds sets over a distant mountain range. Seven separate glaze colors are used to depict this setting. The composition simply emerged from working on several of my prior lamps.

There’s a technique developed in raku pottery where they create vibrant wriggles of black lines. They use horse tail hairs. Just what I need to depict nuclear fission where subatomic debris flies off in all directions. Sketched on a glossy, vivid blue and silver glazed surface, I’ve combined this technique with dry powder coating. On this table lamp, a composition of transparent circles is connected with random lines. Circles and patterns transpose on each other as the lamp is rotated.

There is a technique used in raku pottery. On a very hot clay surface, natural horse tail hairs are instantly transformed into vibrant wriggles. The results I wanted. In raku, they are working at around 1800 degrees F. I only reach about 400 degrees, yet. Maybe with a torch I can combine this with my glazed powder. This glass lamp opened the door. On a fire cracker colored background, I’ve created a vivid and tactile black spider’s web. It spans from one end in black while the other is in bright gold.

This lamp celebrates my most essential supplier, Precision Powders (PP). Their products, fusion-bond powder coating, happen to be foundational to what I create. Instead of liquid paint, these dry powders glaze under heat. PP offers a huge variety of colors and finishes. Without first creating and perfecting my own techniques for applying powder material onto glass, I could not create any of my lamps and the projections they display.
Here, I composed twigs of ginkgo leaves encircling the lamp. This arrangement enabled me to display a small selection of PP colors. There are nine separate powder colors displayed. Also, on several leave, there’s a topping gloss layer.

A lamp with an image that relates to an individual sports athletic event: A friend challenged me. A group of sky divers floated into my imagination. Now the fun started. On the face of my lamp, they fall through a particolored hole in the sky. Below, on the back face of my lamp, is a landing zone. Agricultural fields bounded by dark hills on the left and on the horizon, a slender river.
This art glass lamp has seven different layers of powder coated glaze.

Dance is all motion and posture. In the tango, in an instant both dancers freeze into a striking pose where one embraces the other. On this unique art glass lamp that’s all here. From one viewing, her head rests on his shoulder. From another, he dives under their uplifted arms. Creating this lamp was play day for me. From the first glazed outline in black to the last float in white at the bottom, this glass lamp was a delight at every gaze.
Her dress has three separate glaze layers. Under her burgundy velvet is a gold primary layer. It glimmers and sparkles yet, when she’s posed under their uplifted arms, her costume transforms into a gold gown with a burgundy front. The top layer is a clear gloss with a rainbow glitter.

The composition for this unique lamp is inspired by a B & W photo. The torso of a women in profile gazes down at a rose in her hand. She’s lit from behind with careful attention to detail and becomes a single white line drawn against a deep black background that’s dusted with multicolored specks. She comes to life in striking vividness. On this art glass lamp, the line is clear glass echoing a silvertone powder material line.
On the back of the lamp, is a re-composition of the rose. It is rendered in glossy orange and floats above an abstract cloud in two separate translucent red colors.

On a glass cylinder, can two figures be transformed into one? On this art glass lamp, a woman and her cat play ”peek-a-boo, I see you.” As you rotate this lamp, the cat comes to nuzzle her chin. From a black cloud of hair at the top, her face is suspended. While from the black cloud circling base, the cat’s head emerges. Las Vegas Nights, the name for this color, units these two figures. One of my favorite colors, this black becomes luminous. It contains flecks that change color across the rainbow of as the light angle shifts.
Silvertone highlights the Cat’s whiskers and features. This creates a striking depiction of the cat’s head. Especially when viewed from within the cylinder when lit by the LED. Translucent Soft Candy Red sparkle in the cat’s collar and the hair brooch above her left cheek along with the art nouveau doodles the decorate the field.

Photographs of flowers frozen in thin slabs of ice, Justus and Helen Schlichting have perfected into an art medium. Forever, their flowers dwell in a dynamic setting more alive than those found in any book of biological specimens. On this art glass lamp, I display their frozen Iceland Poppy. Expressing the poppy petals along with the swarm of bubbles swept me into their creative stream.
The petals are show in the translucent powder material called “soft candy red.” Petals are predominantly a translucent layer while shaded areas are a mixture of red with holographic black. Patterns of eyelets hint at the bubbles. They display either clear glass or the silver layer underlying the red. The central stamen is shown in orange. A matte white backdrop including patterns of eyelets suggests a frozen pond.
Altogether, this art glass lamp portrays a bold and elegant abstraction. It has powerful appeal in dim light when it broadcasts a riot of colors and patterns.

She is the ancient Greek goddess of crossroads, magic, witchcraft, the moon and the night. The cylindrical form of my unique glass lamp enabled me to transform two halves of her face into the depiction of one single face. Which way is she looking? Crossroads seemed an apt association for Hecate.
Hecate’s hair, rendered in cocoa bronze, displays a gold headband amongst blue and translucent red flowers. The gold ear dangle from her right ear becomes tears flowing from her left eye. She floats above a background in polar white, tinseled with a scattering of Klimt-like surrealistic doodles.

During the 17th century, landscape painter Ogata Korin created his iconic renderings of a field of irises. Copied innumerably, it appears on folding screens and fans. Here it encircles my powder coated glass lamp. See if you can find where Korin’s two-dimensional creation joins itself.
This cascading array of irises conveys the tranquil setting of an idyllic garden. Sprouting in a translucent gold field, irises are rendered in a vibrant shade of dark violet along with a transparent teal. On gold flower stalks they display amongst dark green and transparent pale green leaves.
