Plumeria Breeze Hand Painted Chandelier

"Plumeria Breeze", a hand-painted glass chandelier that includes elegant hand forged iron fixture and is ready to install. Jenny Floravita's Hand Painted Chandeliers can be purchased through Jenny Floravita's website http://www.floravitalights.com

This is my newest 24" glass hand painted chandelier. I wanted to create a "plumeria flower only" piece but of course I couldn't resist adding the Hawaiian liwi. On my first trip to the Hawaiian islands I kept smelling this incredible fragrance. I was staying in a resort on Ka'anapali Beach in Maui with my parents. Finally I asked what flower was creating his heavenly sent and of course it was plumeria. It's funny to think all these years later that I didn't know about plumerias which is also my favorite inspiration in perfumes.


Plumeria Breeze is quite exotic and I took full advantage of the fact that plumerias come in many colors though I stayed with the rounded flower shape that you see most often in the Hawaiian Islands as opposed to the pointer varieties.

I've allowed sections of blue sky to peek out at the top of the glass which help to add a bit of color variety to the sunset colors that dominate this chandelier. This is truly a beautiful hand painted chandelier! It's one of my best, not to mention most unique chandelier yet.

Rose Painted Glass Wall Sconce

"Romance of the Rose", a reverse hand painted glass wall sconce that includes electrical and hanging hardware. Jenny Floravita's Hand Painted Chandeliers can be purchased through Jenny Floravita's website http://www.floravitalights.com

I've been meaning to create some beautiful reverse painted glass wall sconces for a while. I made the glass sconce shapes some time ago but have been busy with chandeliers. The above rose themed sconce has soft romantic colors and this is what the artistry looks like in it's natural light.

When the sconce is installed and the light is behind the glass the piece looks a bit warmer as the light adds a new element to the sconce. I will show this in another post soon.

Beautiful Peacock inspred Reverse Painted Glass Chandelier

"Peacock", a 24" diameter reverse hand painted glass chandelier that includes irons, electrical, chain and canopy. Jenny Floravita's Hand Painted Chandeliers can be purchased through Jenny Floravita's website http://www.floravitalights.com

This lovely reverse painted glass chandelier bowl was sold before it was dry so I never had a proper chance to photograph it from different angles. This is the only shot but it had some lovely color blends and flower petals. The peacock was from one of my zillions of photographs from my travels and I saw this particular bird in Kauai.

This piece also had orchids and birds of paradise and at the time that it sold it was my newest reverse painted glass chandelier. All of my work is done by hand, by me.

Beautiful Commissioned Hand Painted Glass Chandelier

"Iris Floral", an 18" diameter reverse hand painted glass chandelier that includes irons, electrical, chain and canopy. This was a commissioned piece. Jenny Floravita's Hand Painted Chandeliers can be purchased through Jenny Floravita's website http://www.floravitalights.com

I really don't get a chance to thank my clients enough for the opportunities to create their custom painted glass chandeliers. It's an honor to work on each piece. Iris Floral was in particular an extra special chandelier to create.

I first met my client a few years ago at an art show and she had purchased a unique little oil painting of a Santa Barbara scene. Through the years I have sold hundreds of paintings and if that seems like a lot it's only because I am an artist and it's my profession to create and exhibit paintings. Any successful artist will tell you the same. To get back to my point, even though I've sold so many works I almost always remember every single client and our conversations. Sometimes when I see my collectors I hold back what I remember as people don't expect you to retain so much information.

Art is very personal and when there is a connection, I do listen. It helps me to release my new works and understand the new homes that they will go to. A hand painted chandelier or an oil painting, it doesn't matter as I put part of my life's energy into each piece.

Commissions are especially important. The painting process is different and I paint slower and refer to details through out the entire process. I really try to understand the piece in it's context before my brush ever even hits the glass.

Part of what makes this hand painted glass chandelier so special is because it's part of a new beginning for my friend. All of the elements were carefully selected. We used iris flowers from her fabulous backyard. the butterflies were special and if you were to see her yard, you'd know why the butterflies frequent. We added parrots and a palm tree (which I am known for painting in my traditional oil and watercolors) as a symbol of paradise. The lavender and rose colors are meant to compliment her room color.

This was a smaller hand painted chandelier and thus a lot of focus was put into it to make sure all of the details and special elements made it to the glass. May this painted chandelier bring much deserved joy!
