Here is an image of a two dimensional painting, approximately two by three feet, I recently finished of Fritz Dreisbach gathering honey from a giant pot surrounded by the amorphous, non-crystalline molecular structure of soda lime glass. Honey is one of the analogies that students seem to understand when describing the consistency of hot glass; its fluid nature. In addition to being one of the founding fathers of the American Art Glass Movement, Fritz is a great teacher and a real prince in and out of the glass blowing studio. He also does love honey. This tribute to him is the first glass painting that I have made and been satisfied with.

I love this and saw it in the studio. Comparison with a picture I have of the artist in the same stance while making wine decanter. I get it with the honey. Very nice depiction. Would love to see decanter posted.
I would like to see the image you have of Fritz and his decanter. Can you email it to me?
