Some of my painting friends have inspired me to set up a blog where people can view some paintings, give their comments, and see what I'm working on. It's still in the infant stage, so if you have some suggestions, things you'd like to see, or demo you'd like to have me do, let me know. Following the example of others, this comes with a disclaimer...these are copyrighted paintings, and are protected under copyright laws. They are for viewing/appreciating/critiquing...not for pirating.

GLASS PEN
So this is the GLASS PEN that my daughter and her husband surprised me with. I was pretty fascinated with it. It's a LongXin glass pen gold ink set.
The nib of the pen is spiraled glass. When you write with it, the ink is very consistent. I experimented to see if I could make it work with watercolor. I thought it would make a great way to sign a painting. I had to make the watercolor the right consistency, but it does work.
Anyway, playing with it got me in trouble doing hair on the last portrait. I got carried away having fun. Oh well. It was worth it.
