The Pappalardo Platters 2009
These four platters were a private commission which I completed last month. In short the theme of the platters is family. The backs of all four platters have the Pappalardo family tree. The fronts of the platters are concerned which the passions of Neil and Jane Pappalardo. Science (the periodic chart of the elements, computer code, Newton’s first book of mathematics, Einstein’s chalkboard) for Neil. Art and nature (music, plants and flowers, travel, the Museum of Fine Arts ) for Jane. They both are avid Bridge players, which happily gave me an excuse to glaze paint the playing cards on Platter Three.
