Art Quilts

There has been a bit of creating going on in the studio lately.  Here's what has been happening.

Courage and Love
Collage art quilt
Playing with bits of fabric and arranging them and stitching them.  Inspired by Maya Angelou.

Close up of the poem: Courage is the most important of all the virtues because
                                    without courage, you can't practice any other virtue
                                    consistently.                                           Maya Angelou

Last summer as my arm was healing from a bike accident, my occupational therapist suggested that I draw and paint to help encourage the mobility and healing. And to help my spirit.  I painted three small painting of girls on the beach.
These three painting then turned into art quilts as the result.

You may see more of my artwork in the Gallery at Breeze on my Skin. These art quilts may be viewed in person at the Lanesboro Art Center. Enjoy.

Frontenac State Park Sand Point Trail

This trail works well when the water level goes down.  Autumn is great.  I hiked it August 2019 and I didn't have to slog through water!  Hurrah! Some bugs.  Bug repellent may be helpful or plan to move quickly--that was my plan and it worked.

Prairie Moon Museum

Stone and concrete sculptures created by Herman Ruscha, a farmer in his retirement.  The sculptures have been freshly painted.  Take a look.  It's just about 5 miles north of Fountain City, Wisconsin. The address is 52727 Prairie Moon Road
                 Cochrane, WI 54622
                 (608) 687-8250 or (608) 248-2987
                 Daylight Hours

The stone planters are huge and impressive.

Sky, Water, Land

The light is always tickling my fancy.  It makes my imagination soar and my spirit delight.  Here are some photos from August river walks and sky gazing.
