an oldie

(22x30)
This is a painting I did in the still life group I belonged to; we broke up two years ago this week when our teacher and mentor, Carolyn Howard, died.
All of the objects pictured here, except the electrical-thingy on the far left, were Carolyn's. I love the fluted vase, second from right, and the curly-topped one.

  5. Love those cool shades Laura.
    Glass is really hard I think, with all the reflections as well as maintaining the transparency.
    Thanks for the view.

  9. Beautiful job on these, Laura. They sparkle and glow.

    Re: Carolyn... I just lost a neighbor and friend last week (an older man... he was 81)and I can't help but look at his closed-up lonely little house and realize how his many little kindnesses (he was always ready to share his home-grown produce and a joke) became a nice part of my life. He will be greatly missed - but I'm so glad I got a chance to get to know him.

  10. How beautiful, and since Carol is gone now, how wonderful that you have this to remember her by as well.
