A Little Color

0.0 x 0.0

I have explored many mediums in my life as an Artist... and being an Artist has been my goal since I was a child, I remember my first project, my grandmother encouraged me to enter a contest to color the sailor on the "Cracker Jack" packaging. I still remember the feel of those really thick crayons as I tried to color ever so neatly. I loved the colors in the drawing, bright, colorful full of reds and oranges...so was the inspiration for "A Little Color" "A Little Color" is just that although it shows my love of warm reds, oranges, amber and greens. Strips of colors cut and formed into a disk that when fired at over 1400 degrees the glass to thick of melt into a smooth layer but instead heated just enough to bend the strips leaving a very textured 15" piece held aloft like the sun in a thick black iron display stand. The disk is 10" in diameter.
