Molten

"A singer can shatter glass with the proper high note, he said," "but the simplest way to break glass is simply to drop it on the floor.'"
~Anne Rice

For Art Thursday, Glass Blowers of Murano by Charles Frederic Ulrich. Have you watched the tv series that's a glass blowing competition (I can't remember the name! Arg)? It impressed upon me how dangerous glass blowing can be, although this painting looks very relaxed.

    First, I looked it up (I had forgotten, too) and the name of that glass-blowing competition was Blown Away.

    The photogravue print is quite interesting, but the painting is the thing. The fire *really* comes through in color.
