Original Art - Stone
Blue Tigereye Dragon Flies
Blue Tigereye Dragon Fliesis inspired by the piece of blue tigereye on which it's painted. I liked the interplay of blue and brown and gold in the stone, and so I carried the colors through in the squabbling treasure grabbing dragon-flies. The finished piece is triple matted and presented in a heavy golden distressed finish frame which measures 8x10 inches on the inside edge. The accent gems are smoky quartz and tanzanite, carrying out the blue and brown theme using colors borrowed from the blue tigereye.
Poppy Dancer
Poppy Danceris inspired by a photo taken by my friend robert Torres at a Renaissance Faire. He kindly allowed me to use the pose of the dancer. She's painted on poppy jasper, with the best parts left as natural stone to represent patterned fabric. I enhanced a few to look even more like poppies. She has a Svarovski crystal accent.
The poppy red frame that I chose measures 5 x 7 inches on the inside edge. I added some swirling brass accents to it to carry out the whirling dance theme.
The Garnet Collector
The Garnet Collector is inspired by the dragon-shaped piece of rhodonite it's painted on. Proudly showing off its garnet necklace, it prefers garnet above all other treasures. Triple matted and in an antiqued gold tone wooden frame that measures 5x7 inches on the inner edge.
