Vase I painted at the same time I was painting the flowers.

This is my favorite painting.  I love it so much I might paint it again.  I took a photo of this vase that I remember her having it literally since I was a toddler.  I placed the vase on my table near our sliding door and it was a perfect place to put it.  The post below is what I posted 3 years ago.

It has been quite along time since I have blogged.  I am still painting with Cathy Hillegas at Mt St Francis Indiana.  Soon to be moving to a new classroom.  Cathy is a wonderful teacher who has really improved my painting skills.  I decided to paint a vase that was my mothers and my first painting of glass.  It was quite an experience.  At the same time I started and finished a painting of wedding flowers for my godson.  Both were very challenging.  But I am very happy with the results.  I don't have a picture of the finished flowers but I do of the vase.  Cathy is making a giclee print of the painting of the flowers.  

This is the painting of a vase that belonged to my mother and I really wanted to paint it.  It was quite a lesson in painting glass.  I really should do it again because I learned so much doing this painting.  I painted this with Winsor Newton watercolor paints on Arches 300lb paper.
