Two Magical Women Ready for Sea Adventures

The Costa Cruise line commission for two (5.5′ x 6′) back lit murals, adorning the newest ship FAVOLOSA is finished!

The second mural, WEAVER OF RAINBOWS, completes the pair.

(Last week I showed you the fIrst: SAILING BY MOONLIGHT)

Now this fabulous pair of women, sailing through sea and sky, will accompany the Favolosa passengers, inspiring their own magical sea voyage.

Weaver of rainbows
Sings songs to the creatures of sea and sky.
Her music welcomes the sun.

Tessitore di arcobaleni
Canta canzoni per le creature del mare e del cielo.
La sua musica dà il benvenuto al sole.

She is of the sea and sky.
She holds the moon.
She tells secrets to the stars.

Lei è del mare e del cielo.
Possiede la luna.
Racconta segreti alle stele.

Art That Sails the Seas…

Check out this back lit mural for Costa Cruise Lines newest ship FAVOLOSA.

This is one of two 5′x6′ panels that will glow like stained glass with back LED lighting, placed in two recessed walls leading to a large and dramatic theatre (that figures).

Let me know if you are interested in details about the mixed media technique I used for this project. Believe it or not, this approach is not so far removed from my fabric collage tapestries.
