Fenton Art Glass OOAK Painted Cardinals on Yellow-Orange Vase by Michelle Kibbe

Description

Here's a wonderful one-of-a-kind hand painted yellow-orange glass vase (8.75" tall) from Fenton artist Michelle Kibbe. Careful airbrushing creates a splendid background for Michelle's realistic hand painted woodland scene, with male and female Cardinals on one side of the vase, and a single male Cardinal on the other side. The hand painted foliage and leaves with trees in the background create a three-dimensional effect. The bottom quarter of the vase is airbrushed in orange earth tones, and Michelle's hand painted stylized foliage makes a perfect complement to the scenes above. The base of the vase also has a nice amberina glass effect. This one-of-a-kind hand painted yellow-orange glass vase is identified, dated and signed on the underside: "hand painted by M. Kibbe 2021 OOAK".
