Here are two exercises I just completed in class with teacher Beni Gassenbauer on the topic of reflective silver surfaces.

With a sense of joy and gratitude my new web site was launched today.
Special thanks to Avi Greenstein for designing and creating the site.
I look forward to nurturing it as I continue to grow as an artist.
Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
Shalom, Jeremy
