The World According to Arlene

Sunday, October 26, 2008



"The Snow Tiger©" is an 11" x 7.5" gouache watercolor painting created by award winning artist, Arlene Wright-Correll, on 100% acid free, hand made cotton rag watercolor paper. Basically a snow tiger is really a white Bengal Tiger and they are good swimmers, but poor climbers and they are slower than other tigers, but stealthy enough to catch their prey. They are solitary cats and hunt by night. Their bodies grow to about nine feet and their tail can be 3 or 4 feet long. In the wild they live to about 10 years and their age is doubled in a zoo.


This painting comes unmatted and unframed. It comes with an EBSQ Certificate of Authenticity and an artist's bio. Yyou can make an offer by clicking here

"Elephant Walk II" Fusing glass has been around since the beginning of time being discovered accidentally as most things are. Firing painted stained glass has been around for over 1000 years.
Three years ago a new method of fusing and firing painted stained glass through several stages was created by the famous artist, Peter McGrain who developed a style he calls Vitri-Fusáille© (Pronounced Vitri-fuse-i) and I had attended two of his workshops in NV to learn McGrain's method. Though know for the hugh stained glass walls he has created in airports and many other places over the last 20 years, he is quite collectable in the small pieces of Vitri-Fusáille© art he creates.
"Elephant Walk II" and it is a 12" x 12" piece completed in the Vitri-Fusáille© method and sits in a wrought iron stand.

This piece sold immediately upon completion.

Though not a daily painting, I finally finished this watercolor after 4 straight days of working on it. It is a gouache watercolor on 100% acid free handmade cotton rag paper than then float matted on an olive green back mat. I then set a large black mat around the whole thing and put it into a 19" x 14" gold frame.

I will enter it this week as one of my two entries into the annual Captial Theater Fine Arts Competion this Friday over in Bowling Green. I never get accepted and I am probably blowing my entry fees again this year. There are literally hundreds of entries and some of them really, really good and they don't get accepted either and that helps with the rejection. The final display area is small so the juror has to remember that and the juror usually likes the big "artsy" pieces that have some sort of message that I never understand, but apparently everyone else does. Carl has been accepted every time he enters and sometimes wins, but then there is usually not much in his catagory of stained glass. My other entry will be a fused piece called "A Square Universe." .. So we will see as "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
