These past couple weeks have been very intense. Preparing for a show or a new gallery is always hard work. My newest 36″ reverse painted chandelier which is titled Romantic Summer Garden has been completed and will be installed next week in Colorado. This piece is very different from the second 36″ chandelier though the nature of the overall color pattern feels similar.

Romantic Summer Garden features bouquets of roses and bouquets of pink and red peonies plus wisteria. Also the nature of the petals in this piece is less busy.

Completing large projects always brings a sense of joy and accomplishment. The end of this weekend will mark a very busy few weeks.

Spring bonus: finally the weather has warmed up enough so that I can wear flip-flops in my studio. This helps me to be more in my element as I’m very sensitive to the least bit of cold…and I’m in an area of California where it really doesn’t get cold. An artist needs to fee comfortable so good riddance to winter!
