Inspired by a photograph someone took on their vacation. I asked if I could use her photograph to paint from and after she saw the painting she decided she wanted to buy it to hang on her wall! This is an original watercolor painted on Arches 140lb. professional watercolor paper with Holbein professional paints.

Part of a series of stained glass 'portals', made to be backlit and hung on a wall as though they are windows. Made from Bullseye and Yoghiogheny glass.
'Night Bloom' is inspired by the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, especially his work on a publication of Le Morte D'Arthur, a collection of Arthurian tales by Sir Thomas Malor - taking these illustrations of tales that are another kind of morality story and preserving them in architectural stained glass, the way other belief stories are, is the purpose of this collection of stained glass pieces. 'Night Bloom' in particular is a tribute to a small piece of manuscript illumination, Beardsley's snail - the slow and small and preciously symmetrical.

Katherine Autrey, one of the founders of Silver Spurs arena used to love to ride her father's horse named Cricket. This sculpture was made in the Kissimmee Autrey family's honor and is displayed at Kapp and Kappy B&B (NFS). Kapp and Kappy is named for our last name, plus Katharine Autrey's nickname "Kappy".

Also, inside of Cricket is an homage to a #KissimmeeRocks rock named "Boo" - "Boo" first made his appearance in Grissom park. and so Boo was immortalized inside Cricket in metal form. Take a peek in the center of Cricket's tummy and you will see Boo.
