Rich Romance of the Vessel

Romantica Urn

  I love the rich romance of urns. They are beautiful in and of themselves and carry more than goods. They carry mystery. The fall colors reminded me of my own urn series, painted at the suggestion of a former agent. It was  a great idea and I truly  enjoyed the series.  The originals are…
