Mentionable tree favorites include: The Palm Beach Illustrated tree inspired by Louis Nelveson and created by the Festival of Trees Design Chair, Joseph Pubillones who assembled an eight-foot, three-dimensional tree, Wayne Thiebaud for his noted confection in art inspired tree which was a favorite for the numerous children who attended the gala with lollipops adoring the tree and its base, a Picasso inspired tree, by Home Life Interiors utilizing the abstract use of color and imagery as well as the musical instruments depicted in many of his works, and Erte who is an absolute garden goddess in green and faux fur for Dr. Howard and Joanne Lybolt as seen by their designer, Austin Hancock.  Additional masterpiece mentions include: Garrigues Interiors who designed two trees; the first, a Henri Matisse inspired tree, utilizing bold colors and large scale shapes topped with Matisse’s famous Icarus from the Jazz series and a Paul Gauguin tree covered with large palm fronds, colorful flowers and seashells, designer Chad Renfro with his interpretation of a Warhol inspired tree for the Rodriquez and Wickman Families of Wellington, and a Vincent Van Gogh themed tree created by the 3rd Grade Class at Rosarian Academy underwritten by Mieke van Waveren & Family who is of this year’s Co-Chairs.
