Woodsy Green is a new reverse painted chandelier with green and earth tone colors. It’s a very lavishly layered painting that features grasses and ferns and palm fronds and a warm gold colored bottom. The flowers that are interspersed with the greens are accent colors. White daisies, columbine flowers, Texas blue bells, sage, Indian paint brushes and sunflowers are just a few of the featured wildflowers.
I love creating hand painted chandeliers with this general theme—it’s a chandelier concept that I can paint endlessly. All of my reverse painted chandeliers are originals. It’s a very enjoyable subject matter for me to paint. There is another take on my ‘green’ theme on my website that features lush exotic, tropical green leaves and tropical flowers in pink and white hues. It is called Lush Waters and I may elaborate a bit more on that piece next. It is also a brand new chandelier.
This reverse painted chandelier is crafted here in my studio. The glass is formed and cold worked here and my fixtures are hand forged and welded—these are not Home Deopt type fixtures, they are entirely hand crafted and my glass bowls are much stronger and thicker than what you see in the glass bowl fixtures big box stores, it’s a huge difference in terms of quality. And my work is about quality, attention to detail and artistry.
The forged fixture style that you see here is called ‘Standard’ and is about 20″ tall plus the length of the chain. My ‘Ornate’ fixture has more curves and is 29″ tall and goes well over dining tables and in rooms that have a more formal touch. My ‘Contemporary Swirl’ is 23″ in height and features my infinity/vortex swirl and straight arms—is simple yet contemporary, thus the name. All of my reverse painted chandeliers come with however much chain you need and if you need a really long drop, I will custom wire a fixture to your specifications. Also included is the ceiling canopy and the lights—so my reverse painted chandeliers arrive installation ready.
