Day Six - Go On You Blues!!

After feeling yesterday that I was done with still life.......I so enjoyed this one! I was reminded how much I love painting glass. The darker glass, I have had since I was 17 years old. The minister of our church brought me the jar back full of sweets, after I did some admin work for him. He was taking the youth group to Germany, part of an exchange visit with German teenagers. I was one of the ones who couldn't afford to go. Some years later he married B and I on a sunny day at the end of July.
6"x6" Oil on board, incl UK postage £110
The milky blue glass was one of my charity shop bargains, just a few months ago.
I really threw the paint at this one, mixing all my different blues beforehand. Great fun.

      Thanks Sandy, I am going to beg borrow or steal some more glass to get me through the 30 days, I think!

      Thank you Sandra, I really enjoyed mixing them, seeing the very slight variants on the palette
