Papi (unfinished)

As I painted this portrait, I caught glimpses of me

my brows

My abuela, and her fair dark strands

My abuelo, and his grin

The greatest man in my life.

Just the thought of You

Love is amongst us, once again; spring is here!

In love with the ladylike blouses this season, and sheer fabrics,

and drooling over these embellished collars.

I'd drown in burgundy for You.

You make me feel something powerful like gold,

but like those gold chains I don't make a sound,

though my eyes always paint its color for you.

I'm falling.

Diamond Nebula

Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Citrine Bird on a Rock Brooch, Tiffany & Co., Schlumberger ©
Estimate $15,000-20,000

"In the late 1950s, Jean Schlumberger was invited to design for Tiffany & Co., creating whimsical and surrealist pieces, incorporating natural and organic forms in his work. This iconic design was originally created in the 1960s for the Tiffany Yellow cushion-cut diamond of 128.50 cts."

EXOTIC GLAM is the concept for diamond nebula. Kind of an icon-effect, and glamourous, non-the-less with luscious, classic red lips. The face needed to be as exquisite as the over 15 grand she carries forth on her turban, along slide cascading peacock feathers. I had a blast with the shapes and colors in this one. Really an amazing piece of jewelry to illustrate; nothing better than to carry a diamond-encrusted royal bird with a crown, nesting above a yellow diamond.
