Painted to represent a fantasy.
Abstract painting on upcycled, faded vintage tapestry by Laurie Berger depicting champagne and oysters, imagining it for the future dining room of my dreams.
Painted while anxiously waiting to see if our accepted offer on an old fixer upper house would be confirmed in probate court, where it would be open to competing bids by developers. At the time of painting, we were moving out of our apartment. Luckily, after a six month roller coaster of emotions, we got the house! I spent much of the following 10 months restoring and making habitable this grand old home in Los Angeles, where it now hangs. A perfect pairing, the tapestry and house — two old, once-glamorous souls, dusty and long ignored, brought back to life and loved again.
