Nothing original about this

[Ray Bell]

Except for minor color differences, and a glass lid, this was straight out of a magazine. The wood is from a 125 year old railroad tunnel that they are rebuilding. The bowl is 11.5" diam., and 3.5" tall. Acrylics.

Very nice! How did you do the blue finish, please?

[Marc Himes]

I like this piece and the concept of adding texture and color with the glass lid. Well done.

Grant, the under coat is green acrylic paint mixed with Josonja Texture Paste and textured with sponge, and a stick After drying I painted over with Phthalo Blue acrylic paint, and then added Cobalt Blue, and Dioxazine Purple by stipling. I hope this is clear, if not send PM and I will try to make it more straight forward.

Really a nice looking piece. I really like the color.

[Kathy Marshall]

Very nice Ray! The color and texture on the top is really cool and the glass lid is a nice touch!
