Mobile Rainbow

Watercolors77250_2

Another tribute to days of yore:  a rainbow tinted half-circle of woven ('leather') inside a grass-green hoop slides swiftly across a track of pastel rainbow tints and teal.

Fish Problems.

Fish211x Fish211xl

I don't really have the ability to make things that look like things, but this looks way more like a fish than it looks like anything else.  Rainbow tinted.  In tropical currents.

The Alchemist's Amulet.

Eyes22x Eyes22xl

A cloisonne gemstone framed in satiny emerald green metal. The central image is a mysterious rose in antique metal the color of old gold, surrounded by concentric rings with an enamel-like sheen in every color:  purple, crimson, orange, pale green, aqua, vermilion, and gold.  The colors are intense.  The colors form a cross with mysterious eyes around the rim.  It makes me think of alchemical symbols; there's something arcane about its appearance.

The Reliquary.

Jewelglassx Jewelglassxl

A beautiful illuminated glass box in deep jewel tints:  garnet, pigeon's blood, topaz, sapphire, and aquamarine.  Rich and luminous.

The Hieronymous Globe. Steven....

Globe5x Globe5xl

A beautiful prismatic globe or bead with all the colors in it.  The colors are rich and intense.  Inside the globe you can see some rather Boschean figures engaged in doing God knows what.  I didn't want to look too closely   It's for Steven and his long-lost band.   Strange rainbows, indeed..

Flowers Under Glass.

Lightunderglass

A cut glass panel over a painting of multi-colored flowers.  I am not fond of pastels as a rule, but I don't mind them when they are set up by more intense colors.  The predominant colors here are the greens and pinky violets, but there is rose color, periwinkle, aqua, magenta, indigo, purple, olive, orange, and coral.

How can you just sit there and laugh and laugh and laugh?
