Big Gulper and Little Yellow Fish

16" x 20"  fabric collage on canvas   $250.00 framed

This fishy creation can be seen at Dale St. Cafe in Colorado Spring, CO. After making several banners for donations with cloth and fabric paint, these fabrics just tugged at my heart.  It is not a fine art painting, but rather a curious underwater scene crafted with various prints and colors. shapes and sizes glued onto the canvas side by side.  After the glue dried, I added gold fabric paint with a fine pointed tube attached.  That covered all the edges and further secured the fabric.  It is covered with glass to keep it clean, then and framed and hung.  I was so intent cutting and pasting while making it, and found later it had only taken 2 hours to create sans paint or frame.

"Farmhouse Road"

15" x 30"  oil  $450.00 framed

In Pevina, Italy at a generational Italian farmhouse, we were priveleged to stay for 2 nights in the original home.  It was hot and sunny, but the owners were filled with grand hospitality.  Their vineyards supplied the wine, their hogs the meat.  The spaghetti, olive oil, and sauce were all home made.  They invited all their relatives, children, the locals, the police chief and the pregnant family dog.  We spoke no Italian.  They spoke no English, but we can never forget the joy of the meals and the beauty of the land shared.
