I don’t know why I am so drawn to this lovely vase. (At eight inches tall, I don’t think it’s large enough to be a “vahz”.) Anyway, I cannot stop looking at it. Something about the shape and especially the colors, perhaps. I do love glass art, in any event.

Inspired by Claude Monet’s famous painting Poppy Field (1890), renowned glass artist Robert Held blended several techniques to create the California Poppy Collection. Combining the subtle brush strokes of classical Impressionist paintings with vivid red three-dimensional flowers and elegant shapes, his Poppy Classic Vase is a modern classic, and enchanting addition to any home. Available from the art museum gift shoppe for a mere $155.

I think I’ll just keep enjoying the picture.
