Small And Mini Gourds
These hand-painted gourd captures a moment of artistic reflection—
Gourds #1, 2 and 3 showcase delicate water bubbles rendered in blue and white against a deep black background. The artist painted this piece during early autumn, blending the contemplative mood of summer's end with vivid memories of snorkeling along the Gulf Coast. Each bubble is a meditation on the interplay between shadow and light, creating a striking visual that bridges introspection and coastal wonder. A distinctive, one-of-a-kind decorative piece with genuine artistic narrative. Gourd 1 is six inches tall. Gourd 2 is 5 inches tall and Gourd 3 is 4 inches tall.
Gourd #4 stands 3½ inches tall, painted with a mesmerizing eye that invites interpretation. Is it a miniature dragon coiled in repose? A benevolent lizard guardian? A mystical creature from folklore yet unnamed? The beauty lies in the mystery—each viewer discovers their own narrative within its form.
Standing 3½ inches tall, this diminutive Gourd #5 showcases an audacious exploration of Art Nouveau aesthetics rendered in blue, teal, white, black, and silver. Intricate patterning flows across its surface with the sinuous curves and organic geometry characteristic of the movement, transforming this tiny vessel into a tiny gem.
At 5½ inches, Gourd #6 is the commanding presence among the small gourd collection. Burgundy morning glory clusters bloom across a sophisticated pale purple-gray ground, creating a botanical study with romantic undertones. The muted background allows the deep burgundy flowers to command attention while maintaining an air of understated loveliness.
