Hi Everyone,
So I finished my painting, yay!!!!! So happy to have this one finished. The idea for this painting came to me in a dream. Has that ever happened to you?? It was a first for me. I had to figure out where to find the glass balls and how to set up the still life and photograph it. It was an interesting process. I'm not done with these glass spheres, I have some more ideas, we'll see where it takes me.
After finishing the painting comes the arduous task of titling it. Sometimes I feel like all of my creative energy is gone and coming up with a title is just the hardest part of the whole process. I've been wracking my brain. Glass menagerie popped in my mind, but I've never been a Williams fan and I'm not a fan of that play. So I headed to google and did a search for roses in glass. I had absolutely no idea that it's a term for a crack pipe?????? What??????? Evidently at the gas station they sell roses in class tubes, they are used as crack pipes. FANTASTIC, just what I was going for:)) So now I'm officially stuck, any ideas?
When I started this painting the idea of fragility or a secret garden came to mind. I asked my boys if they had a title and Sam, my 4 year old, said "Submarine Roses". Now my husband says I must title it that because Sam came up with it:) But that makes as much sense to me as Miley Cyrus' performance at the VMA's last night, I suspect she may already be familiar with roses in glass:)
So any ideas would be great! I could use some help:))
