I have become slightly obsessed with vintage bottles, well, maybe a little more than slightly. I love the idea of these bottles, most of them reclaimed from the earth, crusty and sometimes pearlized. I like to think about how they were used when they were new.....and if they have a crystal cross on top (called a cross bottle) all the better!

This one, obviously does not have a cross on the top. It does have any absolutely gorgeous color, kind of a cobalt violet. I am told the it started out as clear glass, but due to magnesium in the glass, has aged into a beautiful hue.

The other thing I love, is painting with wild abandon with loads of thick, creamy, oil paint and a combination of palette knife and brush. So yes, this little painting hits my buttons on several levels.
Some days, I just go through the motions, and the resulting painting usually shows it, but this one was pure joy!
