Painting, painting

Passing Lane

My latest painted quilt is over at the Textile Abstractions blog, made in response to the challenge word "contrast."Check out that blog for more description and to see how the others dealt with it. I am way behind on those challenges, but thank goodness we aren't that strict, since we are all so-o-o busy ( hum mantra of the 21st century). Here's a photo though.





Autumn Reflections

 And a quick little (11x14) oil painting of my favorite
season, autumn . Nothing compares to the reflections
 of New England foliage (this is a lake in Acadia
National Park). I tried to express the fall excitement
at the end of the day.
Yep, it's 99 degrees outside and autumn can't come
too soon. Of course we have sunshine
 and not hurricanes so I really shouldn't complain.
Fall social season, however, is already in full swing,
so although I enjoy every get-together, party,
show and event, I am already bemoaning my
time away from the studio.

  1. Hi Phyllis, I simply love these quilts. You must be painting from the heart to achieve such results. There are some similar quilt artists here in Australia. See my blog link and check them out.
