Dragonfly
Capturing the play of sunlight dancing on a stream, this striking piece provides a focal point both lively and calming. Rich blues and greens are captured in vitreous, iridescent and stained glass, tiles and smalti. Accents of red, yellow and blue millefiore provide detail counterpoint, like the buzz in the air on a hot afternoon. Dragonflies, cornflowers and fanciful summery blossoms, surrounded and accented with gold tile borders and swirls, sit dramatically on the dark charcoal background.
