3. What a lovely bottle!

You did a fine job and you nailed the bottle's shadow.

Watercolor?

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Yes. I had another layer planned, but bad paper pulled up on me.

7. Very cool!

You sure nailed the shadows!

8. Wow!

It’s always tricky to work with light effects on different reflective surfaces. In this case you did a wonderful job of showing light as it bounces off the surface of the bottle AND it’s effects as it penetrates the object and casts the bottle’s shadow. You include the way the light going through it highlights the shadow, making the effect Look like a gem.

I also like that you caught the undulating quality of the blown glass in its imperfect surface structure, also showing the effect of light in its dual quality on the subject.

18. Thank you! I was so excited seeing the shadow break up

with those shards. I knew it would be a fun challenge.

12. Wonderful! In my next life, I'm asking to have a talent!!!

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Thank you! I am sure you have one now :)

[LuckyLib]

13. Wonderful! I've been taking water color classes, and loving it. But the pandemic

has made it tough for me as well. Heard the same from other friends who enjoy their art. It can prove so therapeutic and yet it's tough to sit down to.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Thanks! Yes, the depression and anxiety have really taken hold.

14. Hows that indoor A/C unit working for you?

[GreenPartyVoter]

24. I like it, but it doesn't get as cold as I want, esp in a combined

kitchen/living/dining when it gets over 90 out.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. unusual.

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. Thanks!

[Sloumeau]

27. Grandmother's Bottle

My grandmother had a bottle very similar to that. She hung it on the wall. She had ivy trailing from it. Fond memory. I'm so glad to see something so akin to it.

[aleesiazane]

28. Old stuff has a lot of memories

It's cool !!

[Trueblue Texan]

29. Oh man! I love your painting!!!

I admit it...I am so jealous

[Totally Tunsie]

31. Very nicely done!

Smart and talented...quite a combo.

[Demovictory9]

32. I love both the painting and the.bottle

[Illumination]

33. Artwise, some of us older folks still only know how to draw a stick figure & smiley face...

so you're doing pretty darn good! Keep sharing!

[True Blue American]

34. I had one of those years ago.

For some reason that was a fad back in the 60’s, mine broke. I have a blue hand blown swan.

Put in a charity bag, took it back out. Around the same time stores Began selling replica’s of Carnival and Depression glass, too.


I have originals that came from family. Replica’s I bought.The replica’s are antiques now!

[True Blue American]

35. Hope you enjoy this site!

blue fiddle bottles. I just may buy another one.

36. What type of air system do you have going there?

I’m baffled by what’s behind the bottle: the accordion tubes flowing from the window and the elbow tube in the corner. Is a fan backed up to the tubes? How does the elbow tube work? If you don’t mind…

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. It's a mobile air conditioning unit. Can also be use as a dehumidifier. It's lovely to have on hot

days, but there are a couple of drawbacks. The first is that it’s large and sitting in front of my window seat. The other, the water tank fills up and we have to wheel it to the back door to drain it. But it’s still worth it.

The tubes are the exhaust, I think. I honestly don’t really know how it works, just that it does.
