Gloria J Zucaro's "Photo Snow"

This week I finished off some projects and started a couple new ones.
I finished my abstract landscape that looks like stained glass.  I corrected the portrait of the magazine model-her head shape was too square, I worked on an oil painting of a farmer feeding a young calf, and I did a pastel of a snow scene from a photo in our holiday projects class with Frankie Johnson at Mainstreet Art Centre in Lake Zurich.

Linking to Paint Party Friday

I may not be doing much art the next couple of weeks with all the shopping and shipping I need to do for family and friends.  Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays for whatever your family celebrates.

I forgot this project- a card and ATC for a friend

I forgot this, too!  I cut Weight Watcher boxes into 5 x 7 card sizes and then (below) covered them with gesso to use as needed for custom collaged greeting cards.

Have a good week!

Gloria J Zucaro's "Most Unique Vase"

Here is my second "Thank You" card for a Christmas gift.  This one is for my other sister-in-law.  The gift is a very unique and beautiful glass flower vase.  When I began to draw it, I realized that although the neck of the vase is round, the body of the vase is oval. It is also unusual being on a stand and having a perforated lid with which to arrange the stems.

6"H x 4"W on Cream colored cardstock with Pen & Ink design.  

I put a tangle design around the borders of the card.
