The above photo is a picture of the artist Lenaria  Brondum (Len B.) who creates the  enamels and fine paintings  you are about to witness.         

 

The artwork above in the header is called "THE FARMER" and it is done on silk.  It is only one of the fine paintings produced by Len using this medium in which dyes are used. In comparison her enamels are made from a glass powder.

 

 Her expertise in artwork in recent years has extended itself to cloisonne enamels  and other enamel

paintings. Her versatility in artwork is one of her many artistic attributes as she also uses other mixed media.
