Title:    "Estuary of Dreams" #121 - Soldo

Weight:  80 pounds  -   Height: 39" with ball   -     Base Bottom Width: 12"

Description:  This particular piece is not in two parts.  The ball on top  is attached with rebar in cement for strength and cannot be removed. The base is attached to a metal plate for stability and cannot be removed.   The orb on top is a custom made gazing ball covered with mirror and  glass beads!  When moonlight hits the mirror, tiny little lights reflect  all over!

 

Comment:  This piece was chosen to be a part of Mayor Glenda Hood's Downtown Sculptural Program.  Pieces are to be on display for one year in the Arts and Cultural Corridor of downtown Orlando. 


Title:    "Arioso" #132

Comment:  This picture of Arioso was sent by my client and shows placement in her  landscape.   She requested colors of periwinkle blue,  pink, lavender, coral, celadon green.  The goal was to compliment the colors in her garden, as well as use colors she loved.   I tried to do that, but also have little punches of crazy color.  I grouted with a blue/purple  to enhance the greens and pinks and incorporated glass beads,  cup bottoms and as many tiles of flowers/roses as I could find for a happy, "looking forward to Spring" brightness, as it rains and rains and rains in Oregon.

 

Dimensions: 38" high  without orb         

Weight: 45 pounds
