Paul Stankard, "Summer Memories", glass

It's amazing that there is such a talent that can create a whole natural world, inside a glass paperweight. Do you see the honeybees and their lacy wings? Do you see the delicate frills on the end of the blueberries?

Oh, hey... movie time!

Eric Wert, "Little Dahlia",  6x8", oil on panel

Now that I have you hooked, go and check out Eric Wert's site. It is filled with color, pattern, and light. The pieces that Eric works on are mostly small (the above piece is only 6 inches by 8 inches). The richness of attention to detail are what makes Eric's pieces so beautiful.  Sure, the flowers are magnificent, too...   ;)

According to his resume, he was a scientific illustrator. That definitely shows in his work.

I've always had a fascination with glass. I've also very much liked pattern. Kristina puts them both together in a special little package that you can bring with you in the form of her jewelry.
