Summer Days

Long summer days sitting next to the garden - it seems so far away.

But really - summer is just around the corner.

Zinnia's, asters and bachelor buttons surround this frosted vase 

while to butterflies sit precariously on the flowers.

Peacock amongst the bright flowers

I do like peacocks - whether at the zoo or on canvas. 

Glass?

Why not - I am sure others have done it before.

My interpretation of a peacock sitting on a branch amongst the bright flowers.

 Hope you like it.

I wanted something really bright and bold.

Cyprus Ceramics and Glass

So, if you are following me - I live in Cyprus at the moment.

I bought these Cyprus dishes at the local market and decided to paint a set of wine glasses to go with them.

Then I found these great glass canisters at a store on the South side of Cyprus,

 painted them and added them to the set.

So, my table still seemed off - it needed something.

What about a vase to hold the beautiful blooms in.

Again, went searching for the perfect piece of glass to paint.

Here it is!

Turned out great - don't you think?
