Another beautiful piece of art work for the Venice ArtFest held earlier this month. This is a glass "plate" to either place in this stand or you could probably use a plate holder for the wall. The artist said all she did was basically 'splat' color onto clear glass pieces and of course there would never be two alike.
While driving around one day I noticed this new, very large house being built and for some unknown reason they wanted it painted ORANGE and it was quite bright. Maybe they're Florida Gator fans and they were getting ready to paint the trim royal blue!
This is one passage way I hope to never have to use. This was taken from inside an airplane and these arrows are on the wings to show you which way to go once the emergency door opens and you have to leave the plane!
I've seen many antique ice boxes but this is the largest and has the most ornate hardware of any that I have ever seen. Normally you would see one maybe two doors but not this one. Then again this one was inside the Ringling Museum where most everything is very ornate.
We have one wonderful daughter living on the east coast of Florida and working in the sea turtle business. My husband and I have been in SW Florida about 5 years now (still trying to get used to this heat and humidity)and the 25 or so years prior to Florida we were living in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
