Glass Fantasy

I was at the DeYoung Museum today to see the preview for members opening of the Dale Chihuly Exhibit.

Dale is a glass artist from the Seattle area. This blue piece is an item for sale in the gift shop.

I love the nestling.

Here is another piece – viewed from underneath.

The glass seemed to move as though it had fluidity. Vibrant colors – all quite energizing and a great way to end a long week!

Commission Piece Delivered!

On May 31, I blogged a bit about starting on a commissioned piece for a client in Napa. Creating the piece was so smooth and seamless. The parts came together effortlessly. I remembered everything I learned about creating intentional marks from my 2007 art residency, and created the write up for the client in a way that the information flowed out of me.

Today, I delivered the piece. There was a small “unveiling” at the client’s office and an impromptu presentation by me on the process I followed, the elements of the piece, and the certificate of authenticity. The client was pleased. The piece met her expectations.

I hope to do 6-8 of these a year. That would be art bliss.

Succulent

Sunday I attended the Sunset Magazine Annual Open House in Menlo Park.

One of the vendors had some succulent arrangements. Here are three photos I took.

All stunning.

This weekend, I was experimenting with the egg shape and colors. I have a dream of an egg installation someday. Just double click on the images for a much higher resolution view.
