Summer Flight

I have just completed a commission for someone who saw my exhibit, Summer's End, in Madison. I created a piece that is long and narrow, gradates from yellow to orange and uses dragonflies in flight to create an upward  movement. Below is a detail.

Vintage tablecloths

I have have been dyeing and printing  vintage cotton damask tablecloths and napkins for Thanksgiving presents. I like what happens with the damask flowers, curlicues and leaves that are part of the orginal tablecloth. It adds one more layer of complexity to the overall design.

Intense orange

So few trees around here still have there leaves but this one is still intensely orange. It just glows!

Screen image

I was trying to take a photo of the birds at the feeder but the window screen became the more interesting image.

Sumac flags

The last of the sumac leaves blow like flags in the wind.

Leaf Walk

Yesterday turned into a beautiful day for a walk through the last of the fall leaves.

Leaf Glow

The early morning sun is throwing light and shadows over the Japanese screen creating another layer of leafy shapes.
