Shifting Gears

Well...I have been experimenting with a lot of styles and techniques and mediums and have come to some conclusions. I am now preparing to shift gears and move in a more focused direction with my art.

While there may still be a lot of experimentation, I have decided to concentrate my efforts to inlcude glass.  I will be changing the name of my store, blog, etc. to read the glass art of Christina Colwell.

This will help me and my husband to be more unified and hopefully make it simpler when applying for juried events where we both want to be in on the same venue.

I will still paint whimsical paintings and some contemporary but they will all include glass in some form.

The images here are an example of mixed media and glass.  This is my Paisley swirl and is currently available on etsy. More on these changes...later.  The floral painting is a reverse glass painting using transparent paint of my own recipe and fabrics and papers.

You know I love that paisley! Love to see more glass things but I'll miss your whimsical paintings.

I'll still be doing whimsical paintings. Have to. They will be along the lines of reverse glass similar to the experimental set I did a while back.

Christine,

I love it as well. I love the way it flows. As I get older, I am noticing "movement" in art more. Maybe that's because I wish I could more more myself (65 yrs old).

Tks,

Sandy

I love this arrangement and if I had a piano, I would want to on the wall near it! Very nice.
