I have to admit painting with the kids glass painting kit got me interesed on trying glass painting.
I took the picture of the peacock (which I think is a very common image for glass painting) as my image. I sketched it on paper, traced it on the glass with the black liner and filled in the spaces with the glass colors, as simple as that!
There is something about the rich royal blue color of the peacock that I find very attractive. I hope to create more of these beauties…
My daughter had her own concept of the sunset when she was about 5 year old. She claimed there was a big fish in the sea that swallowed the sun in the evening. And let it out in the morning. Though we smiled at her idea of the sunset, I love the drama in it. Oh! Did I mention I love the sky. Especially the sunset. I often drive to the corniche area near my place just to spend quiet moments all by myself watching the sun set into the horizon exuding colours of orange and red… 
Nature has its own way of soothing the heart and mind. Watching and listening to the gentle crashing of the golden waves, with occasional squeals of kids laughter from far away, cool breeze blowing across my hair and face, it seems to calm my heart and soul. Its this time of the day I love. 
I grew up with my grandmom who was a terrific story teller narrating in her own dramatic fashion, hard-to-believe, larger than life stories. What she said captivated me days after and often led me to day dream about the story, create characters, stage the scene in my mind. I would sometimes look at my friends as characters of my mind story. And maybe that is why whenever I am watching the sunset…I look out for that big fish 🙂 
Until the next time… have a peaceful week
