Hands

I have been drawing all or portions of hands lately whenever I am sitting, waiting for an appointment.  I started looking through paintings and seeing different hands that I have painted and below are a couple of details .  I enjoy drawing and painting hands because they are expressive and complex.

Repair or Create New Panel?

I was presented with 2 stained glass panels that had multiple broken glass sections and the came was bowing and coming apart.  I discussed with the client what it would cost to repair the panels vs what the cost was to start over and use a couple of pieces of glass that were not broken.  The new panels will be stable and will not bow as the old ones have and they can have piece of mind that they will not fall apart on them.  





The bottom two images show the process of creating new panels. I am also using a restoration clear glass which has a slight wave in the glass which will match the original glass that is throughout this turn of the century house.
