Here is what awaits me – on the easel — in my studio.

At the time this blog posts, I will be visiting my daughter and her husband and my brand new 7-day old grandson, Simon. (Can’t wait!)

So, I have about a week of no studio time, concentrating on other sources of contentment. While I’m there, I suspect that on the back burner I will continue to cook up some ideas for what interests me to work on next.

I have several projects that involve trees and layers in nature.

I am going to address birds in flight and fish underwater again.

I am working through ways to look at landscapes as an opening to wonder and meaning. How to stir memory and dreams with stories that are not actually stories, that do not have characters.
I’m not sure of the answers to that yet. But it sounds worth pursuing.

The quilt shown above on my easel is almost done. It is constructed in two panels, each about 35” wide. So, the whole piece will be about 70” wide. Already it has been a good challenge to work on the two panels side by side to make the halves feel connected and to function as one piece of artwork.

The tree landscape on my easel is one that I wrote about in early February when it was in its very early stages. If you’d like to go back and read about it at that point, it’s on my blog here:

Meanwhile, I just completed a new quilt that also features trees, as well as suggestions of memory and dream. This is Speaking the Memory.

If you would like to learn more about Speaking the Memory, it’s on my website HERE
I look forward to letting you know how the new piece evolves to completion.

For all the artmakers: Happy creating
For all the art lovers: Happy appreciating

Thank you for reading. I always enjoy questions and comments.
