Our Beloved Mascot, Poldo!

I caught my first glimpse of Poldo, at the top of the hill, in the small town of Ploaghe, where I enjoyed my morning cappuccino each day.

Soon, he began showing up to the ex-convent where we, the artists of the 3rd Contemporary Mosaic Art Symposium, Ploaghe worked.   He quickly become a constant companion to all.  ​

Sometimes Poldo didn't want to go home,  and had to be carried out of the building at the end of the day!

He even followed us around town, joining us for drinks!

Thus, the inspiration behind my latest portrait . . .

​The large chunky pieces in the background, are sea polished tiles, collected on an unforgettably glorious day with my mosaic companions, on this, Sardinia beach.  Each one connected to the other by a golden glass thread.

The heart, is a play on the symposium logo, seen in the center of this sign.
