"Clifty Christmas 2011"
Oil on glass sphere, approx. 3", with hanger

Hand-painting glass Christmas balls is not something I do often. I have done others, though, and this majestic landmark in our area, snowy Clifty Mountain, has been an inspiration more than once.
This unusual painting on glass is a custom order, one of several projects that have kept me busy lately. It's a special surprise Christmas gift, commissioned by employees at a regional tree nursery for their boss. I can't wait to hear how the boss likes this unique gift of art.

I'm sure he'll think it's fantastic.
he'll absolutely LOVE it, it's stunning.
That's really beautiful, Diana! Looks very hard to do!!
Painting on the delicate glass spheres, with more lengthy drying times, and simply handling them while applying paint, IS a lot more challenging and time-consuming than working on canvas or hardboard.
I've broken more than one while trying to paint on it!
Absolutely gorgeous, Diana! Wow!
Thank you, Jeanne. That means a lot coming from you. Happy painting!
