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.

Cherry Blossoms time, the theme of my new art quilt

Lunar Eclipse Art Quilt
This in my latest art quilt, “Lunar Eclipse”. I thought an lunar eclipse would be a cool idea. The silk background that I painted was dark blue and purple. I played around with metallic paints and applique. I had my little fun time and this is the eclipse I ended up with.
