collections

I collect.
             

My son suggested that I paint my collections when I said I was stuck.   In this painting of some of my bottle collection, I wanted to balance the paint marks with the subject matter, so the bottles could only be understood as a collection, and not individually.

a commission from my village

         I was asked to make signs for the old school -where I hold the papier maché class, and there are painting classes, and modelling, and sometimes, mosaic- they will be installed outside the two classrooms.
         Another commission,  for Nadine, the lady living opposite the Mairie -----

 - decoration of a large plant trough . Years ago I decorated the Village Bar with a frieze all around - grape vines, -and the fruit etc that are used in the manufacture of the drinks and the favourite flowers of the customers - so she wanted something similar. ( I had my heart more in the Bar - Maria, the owner, is wonderful.] Unfortunately the Bar is now closed.

still trying to close the gap

The Guédelon drawings are approx. 60cms. x 45cms.

  Here is more bead work. It is all made in the flame in glass.

I do necklaces [or bracelets] made in favourite colours......
