A Thought...

"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever".

A Piece of My Work

While in Provence, I saw some trays and casuelas, which were made in the neighboring Spain. I got 'inspired' and I made the tray with the four casuelas I am showing here.


A Provencal Serving Dish



There are four casuelas fitted in the tray. We used them at our first Art Show in October 2012, in Long Beach
