Thank you Gwen. It has always fascinated me that you can take flat colors of paint and make them look metallic. Welcome back to the blogosphere and glad you are feeling better!

This composition has such beautiful elegance. Thank you for explaining the Mercury Glass. It has such a beautiful brownish gold sheen…yes…very much like a Christmas Ball or maybe even the shades of Rootbeer Ribbon candy with that bit of iridescence. It adds a mysterious feel. The reflection on the apple in the jar is exceptional. This painting has such a Masterful look to it. Have a feeling it will be a quick sell!

Hello back John! Thank you for visiting. We stayed on the Île Saint-Louis in Paris, which is near Notre Dame. There were a number of street music performers on the bridge near where we stayed. What I don’t know is if a permit of some kind is required to conduct business there. You may like to visit the following blog – http://parisenpeinture.blogspot.com/. Regis has commented on this site and he paints near where we stayed in Paris. I am sure he could help you with your question. Good luck! Best /Lee

Thanks Perry. You and and a number of other artists I follow are my inspiration to keep pulling out the blank canvases. Thanks for taking the time to encourage us newer folks in the field.
