I used this picture to get my inspiration. I didn't have the exact colors in my studio to work with, so I just focused on the shape and used all earth tone colors. I thought about how the pond looks mossy, or brown with mud. Of course...I have to put my own spin on the design, and added glass gems, geodes for his fins and cut the glass around him so it would look like he was splashing out of the water.
2013 will mark my 13th year working with glass. My third year in painting. I push the envelope as far as what I can create with both mediums. Good things happen when glass breaks or mistakes happen...from there more is beautifully and meaningfully revealed.
