    Bow String

    $325.00

    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.

    Peeling Paint

    $325.00

    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.

    Ginkgo-sun

    $325.00

    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.
