Oh neat, puries were always my favorites! I thought it was a photo-manip at first, but this is outstanding, Simon. Thanks for posting, and thanks for the memory too.

All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

What a fun subject to paint.. did you enjoy looking at how the light came through the glass? It seems like you did, judging by how well you recreated it. I wonder why the light coming through the ones onthe paper ended up clear, instead of colored, like the light that came through the other marbles on the table.. ? Anyway, it's a gorgeous painting! Is the original bigger than what is showing? cheers, Quiet
