Look to the East entries in winter exhibit at Bower Center

In the Looking Glass

















It had been on my mind to create a mosaic of a design I fabricated in stained glass many years ago. It was one of my favorite commissions during the days when I operated Great Falls Stained Glass in Northern VA. Bower Center's winter Look to the East exhibit was the perfect time to stop thinking about it and get to work.

This recently completed mosaic will be included in the opening exhibit in the new Cornerstone Gallery at Bower Center for the Arts. Don't miss the opening on Second Friday, July 12, 5-8PM.

Azalea Bonsai

Creating a mosaic bonsai was another idea that had entered my mind and it, too, met the Look to the East theme. Orsoni smalti seemed to be the perfect glass to use. To keep the background simple, but have some texture, sand over thinset was used. Azalea Bonsai is a relatively small work at 7" square. This is currently exhibited at TECAC, The Electric Company Artists' Co-op through July. Don' forget to stop by on Second Friday, July 12, 5-8PM ... 207 East Depot St, Bedford VA.
