A very old and wise fish swims slowly through the swamp. Surrounded by the creatures of ancient times, this fish is calm as it surveys its surroundings. Pools of color mimic bubbles rising from the bed of the swamp.

The physical forms of countless creatures sink and decay into the mush of the ages. As their bodies rest their spirits rise and falls with the motion of the water.

This painting started as a photograph of a piece of glass artwork created by Garth Mudge of Glassworks in Winthrop, Wa. It was taken with a Macro lens and is a very small section of the overall object. The colors are vivid and alive due to the way that I am illuminating the glass art as I am taking the picture. In a way I am photographing the light as it passes through the object.
In this particular photograph I have gone in by hand and painted over the original image. Adding my own textures and visions to the shapes and colors I started with.
I have been a professional photographer for many years but it is only recently that I have been photographing glass at any level. It is such an exciting experience to discover these images. I almost feel like an archeologist as I explore a small hidden word and reveal the treasures within.
