Sewing with my new cat, Nickie

I'm working on a new scrap quilt with rough edge circles.  Of course it's a bunch of crazy colors.  Our new cat Nickie has to get into the action.  She could at least do the ironing for me!

Two of my latest painting.  They are both works in progress.  I'm so excited about the flicker.  Taken from a photograph I recently took.  Also my wonderful cat, that's no longer with us.  I miss him so much.

Insect Ink Drawings

Some pen & ink drawings I did last year. 

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.
