Birds In Art

 

This is one of the latest pieces I've worked on.  I have decided that I'm going to put a bird in my paintings.  I'm so glad to be able to use their wonderful shapes. This is turning out to be a favorites so I will probably paint it on canvas, as this one is on board.

Patterns Used in Paintings

I'm having so much fun cutting out different patterns for my paintings.  I'm using these to figure out composition.  I have them on a big posterboard.  They all look so fun together. I'm painting water color paper the color I need and then cut out the shape to see how it all looks with the background.

I Finished A Quilt!

This is a lap size quilt I made for my neice Trina.  I love this pattern because it resembles circles and I love circles in art, quilts, etc. This quilt matches my neices' personality perfectly...spunky, bright, colorful, and full of life. 

Strips of fabric ready for a really fun strip quilt I'm working on.  Boy, I have a lot of fabric and I think I could make many quilts with this pattern.  I just found an old box of fabric I forgot I had and now I have some more strips coming. The thing I like about this quilt pattern is you can blend all kinds of fabric together and it all looks good.
