Holding on to Summer

Each is 5 x 7 inches, framed to 8 x 10 inches.  $95 each.

I've been working on a few small pieces to bring the Unitarian Holiday Art Fair this weekend and found my mind back in late summer, walking the roadsides, appreciating the wildflowers around here.

I painted more chicory [L], echinacea [C] SOLD, and goldenrod [R].  I've got some daisies on the easel to finish later and can already feel the pull to do more of these.

Doing these small florals is teaching me to practice, to listen to the paint, to play, to try again, to work in short bursts where I can come and go without bullying the piece.   It feels nice.

If you're around the Unitarian Church [Fee Lane at the 46 Bypass] tomorrow or Saturday,  please stop in and say hello.

I'll be bringing one of my favorite winter pieces.   I love that our winters have a lot of color, even though the woods are gray.   We have a lot of green through the whole year, though in winter, the golds and oranges step up and take center stage. 

So beautiful!

Holiday Art Fair and Bazaar

This weekend is our last show of the year and it's one of our favorites.   The show is packed full of local artists working in pottery, weaving, woodworking, glass, jewelry, etc.   There's a fabulous cookie walk and bake sale, a book sale, a white elephant sale...  It's one of the most fun weekends of the season!

Ruffle Scarves

I've been playing around with ruffles in my weaving.   

You weave them flat.

Then wet finish them.

Then you have ruffles!

I heart ruffles!

If you didn't see these in person at the BSWG Show and Sale last weekend, then you can come and get  one at my next show!
