"Candy Dish Angel"

Container is the weekly theme at Thursday Challenge and I just happened to have recently scanned an old photograph of a candy dish. It's filled with holiday wrapped goodies with a beautiful glass angel guarding the gate. Chocolate kisses anyone?

What station is this?

"Study for A Stained Glass Window"

I was playing with a new widget last week and some interesting things began to happen after running the initial painting through the usual array at the Secret Visual Laboratory. For instance, this reminds me of some Church windows that depict the Stations of the Cross. I suppose this post is fitting since I'll be working with bits and pieces of glass for the next two days ... and, he's off!

Moody Monday: Colourless -

"Tall Cool One"

The weekly theme is colourless at Moody Monday. A dichotomy exists here: is it the theme that's lacking? Or, is it the theme that's lacking? See what I mean? Anyway, as I was driving home from my office the idea that ice, water and glass were all relatively colourless so I set up a simple still life, shot it and ran it through the array here at the Secret Visual Laboratory. There's only one thing else to do then, yes? A shot of bourbon to go with it...bottoms up!
