After vacation, the holidays and having house guests I am finally back in the studio and it feels good.

I am always amazed at the results of melting bottles. I welcome the challenge of what to do with them. The bottle below melted with the design remaining and so elegant that I wanted to present an elegance in the mixed media painting. I emphasized the red and gold colors. The top of the bottle is fused glass. The wine glass is cut glass.

The Builtmore On The Century White Wine Bottle

This bottle was only about 5 1/2 inches tall. I carried the actual image in the bottle to the outside of the canvas painting the sky, mountains, snow and birds. The glasses are cut glass. The canvas is a petite 8" by 10."

Happy Hollidays!

Tis the season once again. I want to share the song I wrote when Brooke and Peyton were babies. Inspired after realizing that with new little ones Santa would be coming back to my house again. That was a few years ago and since then we have five grand children. They are shown in the picture below. And, Santa is still coming back to my house.

Bob, Peyton, Me, Brooke, Jack, Jake and Austin
