Corgi with Sheep ink sketch

As a surface to paint on, glass is very different and requires a different technique than painting on other surfaces, but the results can be stunning! Special paints are used which are baked in the oven for maximum adhesion and durability. Painted items can be safely hand washed or gently cleaned with water, as long as nothing abrasive is used. A wide variety of glass items are available, from vases to candy dishes to framed pieces of stained glass. Some items are regularly in stock, while the availability of others depends on the inventory at stores where I shop for the items. Inquiries about glass items shown on this page, or other items I might be able to come up with, are welcome. As with all of my work, I can paint any breed, as well as commissions using your photographs.

My painted glass work has proven very popular, and was extremely well received as National Specialty trophies for the 2007 Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada in 2007 and the Bearded Collie Club of Canada in 2009. Unless otherwise stated, the items on this page have all been sold, and are shown as examples of what can be ordered.

Additional glass items can be seen on the Jewellery page, which shows some painted fused glass pendants.

Painting on blue stained glass, in a handmade wood frame.
Size approximately 12" x 12"



Clear Glass Vases
Painted Glass Vase
These vases are square in shape, and come in several sizes. I currently have a few of the 3 sizes shown here in stock and ready to paint.

I also have a couple of slightly different proportioned medium sized vases which measure 4 1/2" x 2" x 6" high. Price would be the same as the medium size shown. Larger sizes can also be ordered. Contact me if interested,

Prices reflect painting on one side only. Painting on additional sides would be extra.

Left: The Large Size
approx. 4"W x 3" x 9" High
This size vase is $130.

The large vertical expanse of this vase size lends itself to a design such as the one shown, with 3 head studies arranged on the glass. Alternate designs can be done as well.

A larger size can also be ordered, measuring 6"W x 2 1/4" x 9" High. $150.

This piece was the Best of Winners trophy at the Bearded Collie Club of Canada 2009 National Specialty.

Painted Glass Vases
Medium Size
approx. 4" x 3" x 6" High

A similar size measuring
4 1/2" x 2" x 6" is also available.

This size vase is $95

The slightly higher than wide shape of the sides of this vase lends itself well to a sitting pose design, although other designs can also be done.

These vases were WD and WB trophies at the 2009 BCCC Specialty


Painted Glass Vases

Small Size
approx. 4" x 4" x 4"
A standing pose works well on this size, although other options can be done as well.

These two vases were given for Reserve Winners Dog and Reserve Winners Bitch at the 2009 Bearded Collie Club of Canada National Specialty.

This size vase is $65



Clear Glass Candy Dishes
Painted Glass Heart Shaped Dishes
Above: Heart Shaped, and
Below: Round
Either style is $70, painted with a single dog. More complex or multi-dog designs can also be done.
I currently have one of the heard shaped dishes and a couple of the round dishes in stock and ready to paint. More should be available if needed.

Clear Glass Paperweights
Painted Glass Paperweights

These round paperweights measure 3 1/2" in diameter, and 3/4" high. I have a few of these still in stock, but have so far been unable to find a source for more at a reasonable price.

These two items were given as trophies for the 2007 Tibetan Terrier Club of Canada National Specialty.

Price for this style of paperweights would be $45




Stained Glass
These are available in an almost infinite range of colours, in sizes up to 12" x 12". For smaller, rectangular pieces I'll often use standard store-bought frames in a colour that complements the glass and artwork; for larger or odd-dimensioned pieces I use wooden frames which are custom made for me. The latter frames can be stained or painted, or left natural (with a clear stain to seal and protect it.) Some examples of different styles and designs are shown here (all have been sold, but inquiries about similar pieces are certainly welcome.)

Prices vary greatly depending on size and complexity of design.
