Description

You either hate her or love her… or maybe a little bit of both – like me.

If you’re not familiar with my crow series, I often draw inspiration from personalities of characteristics from some of the clients I worked with as a jeweler. 

One particular client would come strutting into the jewelry store with her husband late on Friday evenings before their dinner date.  Her silver hair always in a fancy updo accompanied by her Disney t-shirt and diamonds.

While floating around the store on her superior cloud, she would send her husband into the back studio to clean and steam all of her diamonds.  If he brought them back to her with any water spots, she would send him back to re-steam them until she was satisfied – oh how she loved those diamonds to sparkle!   

It became a bit comical that the evenings they would pop in, the other jeweler and I always seemed to have a glass of wine sitting on our benches – I mean hey, it made closing the store late on Friday’s a little more enjoyable!  Anyways, she would always comment and call me a lush.  Haha, maybe I am – maybe I’m not, but in turn I secretly dubbed her Diamond Lush… so I call it even 🙂

Over the years I grew a soft spot in my heart for her – she, like many of us, just wanted to feel special and admired. I chose to paint her with a warm illuminating light dripping with all her glorious shimmering diamonds – Isn’t she a spectacular sight!

Original artwork will be wrapped in paper, contained in a waterproof wrapping, and then heavily cushioned and packaged. Prints and Paint Palettes will be backed with cardboard to help prevent bending, wrapped in a waterproof bag, and then packaged in a padded mailer or box. In the event that your art arrives damaged in any way, please contact me immediately. You will need to provide me with photos of the damage within two days in order for me to file an insurance claim. The damaged piece will need to be returned to me and I will provide you a similar piece or a refund (less shipping charges). In-stock pieces will be shipped within 3-7 business days. Your artwork will be shipped USPS Priority Mail or FED EX with tracking and insurance. Larger paintings shipped via FED EX will be sent Signature Required so please make sure you or someone else will be available to receive it.
