Working with glass

Painting and leafing glass with the view of eventually translating these ideas onto the glass in front of my paintings. Trying to add a three dimensional element to the finished pieces. I also like the idea of the 'characters' partially hidden from view. So difficult to photograph - much lovelier in the flesh!
