    Homage to PPAS

    $325.00

    This lamp is inspired by a photo of peeling paint. There is a Peeling Paint Appreciation Society (PPAS). It’s on Facebook. If, like me, you are looking for a graphic resource which you can inspire your own creative activity, the PPAS is a gold mine. Their discoveries reveal a breadth of color and graphic composition that leap forward and proclaim, this way to freedom of expression.
    There are seven separate glaze layers applied to this lamp.

    This lamp is derived from a photo that is attributed to the creative eye of Mark Muller.

    This dramatic puzzle background  becomes a roadmap for a scatter of woven of scorched horse tail hairs. They create the wiggly black lines .

    Bow String

    $325.00

    A doodle, following a suggested musical clef, wanders all over this lamp. Ever look at the back of a high school notebook? The good ones are filled with doodles. These are a mental escape from all that dead air in the classroom. This doodle tableau becomes a roadmap for a scatter of woven of scorched horse tail hairs. They create the wiggly black lines .

    All of this is depicted against a fire cracker red. It’s transparent around the middle band and finished with a high gloss top layer. My wife says she’d pay someone to get it out of our house. But they’d have to fight me.

    Peeling Paint

    $325.00

    Shown amongst my other photos for this piece, is one by Ms. Camille Martin, TA based artist, poet, photographer. I discovered her work displayed by the “Peeling Paint Appreciation Society.” Like Alice in Wonderland down the rabbit hole, my imagination just tumbled into this image. I applied my typical guidelines; first simplify, then exaggerate. In my accent lamp glass media, the image has no edges. It just flows.

    Two colors encircle this accent lamp. The black is labeled “Illusion Midnight”. The orange is a 50/50 mix of “Cosmic Sassy” and “Spanish Fly”. The curved streaks are clear glass. The wiggly black lines are scorched horse tail hair.

    “Pelling Paint” is now featured on ARTSY.net, one of the world’s largest platforms connecting art lovers and collectors!

    Ginkgo-sun

    $325.00

    A white mist blankets a lake. You are gazing at it through a drapery of ginkgo leaves in fall colors of golden brown and yellows . The name of these colors: “Spanish Fly” and “Orange peel”. Beyond, a crimson sun streaked with clouds sets over a distant mountain range. Seven separate glaze colors are used to depict this setting. The composition simply emerged from working on several of my prior lamps.

  • Face view unique glass lamp, flood lit.Ice Flowers Trip

    Iceland Poppy

    Photographs of flowers frozen in thin slabs of ice, Justus and Helen Schlichting have perfected into an art medium. Forever, their flowers dwell in a dynamic setting more alive than those found in any book of biological specimens. On this art glass lamp, I display their frozen Iceland Poppy. Expressing the poppy petals along with the swarm of bubbles swept me into their creative stream.

    The petals are show in the translucent powder material called “soft candy red.” Petals are predominantly a translucent layer while shaded areas are a mixture of red with holographic black. Patterns of eyelets hint at the bubbles. They display either clear glass or the silver layer underlying the red. The central stamen is shown in orange. A matte white backdrop including patterns of eyelets suggests a frozen pond.

    Altogether, this art glass lamp portrays a bold and elegant abstraction. It has powerful appeal in dim light when it broadcasts a riot of colors and patterns.

    Hecate

    $325.00

    She is the ancient Greek goddess of crossroads, magic, witchcraft, the moon and the night. The cylindrical form of my unique glass lamp enabled me to transform two halves of her face into the depiction of one single face. Which way is she looking? Crossroads seemed an apt association for Hecate.

    Hecate’s hair, rendered in cocoa bronze, displays a gold headband amongst blue and translucent red flowers. The gold ear dangle from her right ear becomes tears flowing from her left eye. She floats above a background in polar white, tinseled with a scattering of Klimt-like surrealistic doodles.

    Irises

    $325.00

    During the 17th century, landscape painter Ogata Korin created his iconic renderings of a field of irises. Copied innumerably, it appears on folding screens and fans. Here it encircles my powder coated glass lamp. See if you can find where Korin’s two-dimensional creation joins itself.

    This cascading array of irises conveys the tranquil setting of an idyllic garden. Sprouting in a translucent gold field, irises are rendered in a vibrant shade of dark violet along with a transparent teal. On gold flower stalks they display amongst dark green and transparent pale green leaves.

    Anje Rozan – We Are All Connected

    The winner of the 2022 Lion’s Club International Peace Poster Contest was thirteen-year-old Anje Rozan of Slovenia. Her poster is titled, “We Are All Connected.”  I created this lamp using the imagery of her poster as an expression of my gratitude to Anje for her uplifting painting. Her imagery has a powerful impact on people. This lamp is my gift to Anje.

    In Anje’s words: “Humans are woven together; if someone gives up, others fall.”

Anchoring this tableau is a mature cherry tree with blossoms in pink and red. As the lamp rotates, branches and blossoms transit across the lake, mountains and sun displaying an ever-changing panorama or dreamscape.
