"Capodimonte"

Saturday Self-Challenge: Collections

As some of you probably know, I am a collector of many things. Even still, this week was a challenge to choose which collection to use as my subject. Since I already have used Teddy bears, dolls, colored glass and salt glazed pottery as subjects in the past, I chose this very small collection of capodimonte porcelain that I purchased at Bush Gardens, a theme park located in Williamsburg Virginia. This wonderful park has different sections that represent countries of the world, Italy being one of them.

The works of art in the photo above were created by Italian artisans who created the flowers and painted them on the spot for passersby to see. I was taken by their breathtaking beauty and I had to purchase at least one piece every time we visited the park. Every time I look at them I am reminded of the very good times we had at our favorite vacation spot...

Have a happy and safe week, my friends! My love to Pam, HUGGS
