I’d like to introduce a new vineyard themed reverse hand painted glass chandelier, Napa Valley Romance. This is a gorgeous hand painted chandelier that combines red, violet and pale blue grapes with leaves, vines, sunflowers and roses. The flow of the grapes intermixed with the flowers is very graceful. Tuscan colors make this reverse painted chandelier perfect for homes that incorporate similar colors or wine themes.

The inspiration for this painted chandelier came from a collector last fall who ordered two 36″ Vineyard Romance chandeliers—one had grapes and song birds and the other intertwined roses, sunflowers and columbine flowers through the grapes and vines. Both pieces had Tuscan colors and also deep burgundy colors to match the richness of the dining room. That got me thinking that I’d like to incorporate countryside flowers into my vineyard chandeliers.

 

 

When I paint grapes, they are full with color and depth. They shine and also have waxy areas. My grape clusters look as if you could pluck them right off the vine. The roses have soft petals and my sunflowers are full of motion, gazing towards the sun. If you’d like to see more pictures of Napa Valley Romance, look for it on my Chandeliers page.

All of my reverse hand painted glass chandeliers are hand crafted and painted by me, Jenny Floravita. My studio is in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. I live surround by vineyards. Painting my vineyard inspired chandeliers brings me back to early childhood memories of my grandparent’s shade filled trellised patio that hung heavy with dark blue grapes. They would tend to their garden. I’d sweep the red patio clean from leaves and rock in the swinging patio couch.
