Think Art, See Art, It Surrounds Us.
We can see things around us without really seeing them and miss opportunities for creativity. We need to learn really see and consider new perspectives.
Orange and Blue, Hot Air Rising
Been busy last few months. Now I’ve caught my breath, I’ve started a new art quilt.This one is an abstract.
Sharing a few more as promised.
A new new art quilt and a silk painting from fiber artist Barbara Harms. Natural themes, a beautiful red egret stand at the water’s edge.

My Fiber Art is Hanging In Oregon’s new State Hospital. How About That?
I had a nice experience that I thought I’d share. The state of Oregon purchased four of my art quilts. You may wonder why would a state need art quilts? They were needed because the old Oregon State Hospital was just that, old. Repairs and improvements had been made over the years, but it had reached the point that the state decided they needed a new one.

Quilts can be like people, Sometimes quilts just don’t photograph well. Me either, take 100 photos, you won’t get a good one I guarantee. I’m beginning to wonder is this what I really look like?

Enough of this sillyness, I’ve run out of material anyway. But you have to admit I made the effort!

I love cherry trees, it’s breath taking to see each new tree as it is in full bloom. I love the romance of the pink “snow” which covers the ground after the blossoms fall. I love that glorious spectacle that occurs every year. The fact that it lasts ย for only a brief ย time, makes theContinue reading “Cherry Blossoms time, the theme of my new art quilt”
