I have repeat clients who have commissioned me to make mosaics for them that are very pictorial. The subject matter would often be easiest (for me) to address in a painting. Translating their vision into mosaics can be challenging: glass comes in many colors but not the same gradation of color that one can achieve with paints. The latest work for these clients is based on a view of the pier in Naples, FL, where they have spent time. My goal was to capture the vividness of the sunset and movement of the ocean.
