Painted chandeliers are a wonderful way to illuminate a room. They bring such warmth with colors and imagery. This is the other side to Parrot Floral, which I sold a few months ago...still this piece inspires me to paint. And though each piece is different in colors, choice of flowers, birds and animals, I still study the works that I have done in the past and the parts that I felt worked particularly well.

In this piece, I loved the way the flowers form the background for the blue and yellow Macaw and how the piece transforms into cooler blues and violets on the other side. Even the tropical red flowers have a cooler feeling.

Reverse Painted Glass Chandelier Lamps

Reverse painted glass chandeliers are a passion of mine. Painting on glass has a long history and I'll explore that in this blog. The above piece is titled Parrot Floral and I sold this work in the fall of 2008.

It just occurred to me that the title of this piece is Parrot Florals but you cannot see the parrots from this angle! Part of the beauty of this kind of work is that as you move around the light, you see different elements and depending on the size of the piece, there are really multiple scenes to behold.

I will post other images of this particular piece later.
