Edges and attachments

Today I worked on the edges of my panels of wood, and also attached the glass and copper to my pieces. I decided it was important to continue the image onto the sides of the pieces because it enhanced the depth and structure of the forms. 

The last additions of color I made to my pieces was to add vermillion hue. This is the same color I added to my slumped glass, and only applied small amounts to the surface of the work, like I have today in my paintings. 

I also ended up cutting one of the larger paintings in half, because The compositions were stronger on their own.  Next to each other on the same piece they seemed to compete with one another. 

For now, I am done working on these. 

I will reflect on them tonight and tomorrow, I look forward to writing a new artist statement.
