A February Finish

Once upon a time, my work was exhibited in the gallery of the Mountain Valley Arts Council.  For the exhibit, my paintings, weavings and some quilts were shown.   The person in the gallery who hung the show saw something that I had not noticed about my work.  I have specific color palettes that I tend to work with.  He hung weavings next to paintings that looked like they were planned to go together.   However, I never think about working that way; it just happens.

That brings up to the latest finish.   I looked at the finished piece after the mounting glue had dried.

A Sunset Melody

Suddenly, I had a realization.  It goes so well with this painting from  years ago. 

Morning Magic

It is no wonder that I chose the hand dyed fabric as the base for stitch work.  I see this painting every day as it hangs in my house.  The magic that was in my imagination as I painted it still fascinates me.
Is it any wonder that I love this new stitched piece?  Of course not.  It sings to me and makes my heart happy.

In case you are wondering,  I have already started a new piece to do handwork on.  The colors are totally different but still in one of my color palettes.  Here is a teaser photo of it. Ignore the wrinkles, they will vanish once the piece is finished.

Until Next Time,
