Just about to start cutting glass for 4 tall lancets for a 19th century chapel. (Painting starts next month, and continues through till June.) About two-thirds of the windows we’ll cut from brightly coloured glass (vigour, energy, glow). The rest is clear glass.
And some of it is seedy.
Seedy glass – which reminded me …
Now I know Pierre-Auguste Renoir was not a glass painter. All the same, I hope you never treat your brushes as Renoir is here shown treating his.
It’s interesting to talk with people, not just paint and write. So this is something new for you.
A podcast. Here’s episode #1 – the glass painter as storyteller.
Conservation is such a big business these days, I’m sure to get into a whole lot of trouble for this.
In my defence …
Oh, but what’s the point? Because if conservators are going to get upset by this (truth being no defence), there’s nothing I can do to sooth their ruffled feathers.
I will just say one thing: why not listen to this podcast, and think how bad we feel about the things we sometimes are required to do?
