My mosaic inspiration is from Pablo Picasso’s 1917 “La Guitare” (The Guitar) hanging in the Norton Museum of Art, in West Palm Beach. For comparison, you can see his Cubism-inspired painting on the museum’s social media page. https://www.facebook.com/nortonmuseumofart/photos/happy-birthday-to-pablo-picasso-who-was-bornonthisday-musical-instruments-in-gen/10155804380173535/
I used various pastel sea glass for the patchwork layering effect and framing. The centerpiece is a brass door opener from the Covid era. Bronze flower gems are the string tuning pegs and bridge pins. A striped tile, the strings. The Czech sun cabochon, a decorative sound hole.
The guitar is a beautiful musical instrument and most likely why Picasso painted dozens of these iconic instruments.
