Sunset 9/8

Due to an infection in my finger on my right hand my painting has been put on hold.  Such a drag.  I have been sewing a little but with some difficulty.  So...many pictures of the sunsets for inspiration for future projects.  Love the color.

Oil Painting

This is what I have been doing this summer!  I am in love with my oils again.  Maybe it will turn in to a fiber piece?

Pieces of Blue

Late at night I like to stitch these pieces of blue. I don't know why... but I love little pieces of fabric and paper, so I am hand-stitching them into small blocks of color.  I have stitched probably 30 so far.  They consist of silk, paper, and tea bags.  I paint the pieces of silk and paper with liquid acrylic paint watered down and also use Colorhue silk dyes.  Many of the tea bags I get from my friend January. Thanks January!

Summer vacation and fiber landscape

Yeah! It is summer vacation and my last day of teaching was yesterday.  Usually I teach summer school but I think this summer I have off.  So...now I can post more on my blog and create.
This piece I have been stitching on for months.  Well, I just checked my older posts and it has been 8 months since I started this piece!  I work on this piece in the late night hours before bed. It is hand painted cloth, paper, silk, linen and hand stitched.  I thought it was finished...but maybe a few more stitches?
