16"x20" oil on canvas ••• As it is with my box cameras, so too with my bottles—I have... let me use a concise term... many. (Yes, that is a dodge. Coming up with an accurate count risks possible marital disruption.) • There is a group out there who would like nothing better than if I only painted glass. (You know who you are!) A collector-now-friend of mine has gone so far as to walk up to me with a box filled will his bottle collection as a gift. His wishes were explicit: Raymond, paint more bottles!

(Even though they imply digestive issues, who doesn't love blue bottles?) • Experience has shown me that making promises about what I may or may not paint in the future is unwise. Let me just say that painting glass poses the type of challenge that I seem to rise to, so the odds are good that I will be painting more. (Yes, that is another noncommittal dodge.) • All asides aside...
