    Greetings!

    Hi,  I'm Arlene Swiatek Gillen and I am pleased to see my design on the Painting & More site!  The daisies are painted on a vintage cobalt rose bowl.  I was hooked on decorative painting from the moment I watched a teacher paint a beautiful leaf with two strokes of a double-loaded brush.  It was magic!  That was ten years ago and now I am a teacher, designer and author.  I will be sharing some photos with you in the near future of upcoming convention classes and also give you a peak into my newest book, "Glorious Glass: 20 Sparkling Ideas for Painting on Glass & China".  Have you painted on glass or china?  Were you happy with your results?  I would love to get your feedback.
