Three Generations of Coke

I went back to glass this week, which somehow I find much easier to paint on a large scale than solid objects.... I felt like my last painting was so tight and heavy...
Anyway.. several months ago I went to a local auction that had all kinds of old glass bottles.. and I bought a few old wooden cases of them... these three were among them.. three versions of the Coke/ Coca Cola logo..
I titled it, "Three Generations"
36" x 60"

Wonderful! Love your glass, and this trio is exceptional. Nostalgic and current all at once. Love the close cropped view.

Loving that you're revisiting the glass. Your titles are always so witty and tongue in cheek humor!I was wondering whe you were going to post something new...ha! me who takes 6 months to paint something new!!! I missed your blog. Glad you're back!
BTW...the croquet balls should feel heavy...well done!

I used to collect these bottles! I
still have a few, but I stoped collecting everything,(sort of)
Anyway.. How you paint glass is pretty darn good! I've taken some time and went through your blog, very impressive art!
