This poem is from "A Childs Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson. The book is out of copyright protection and can be viewed here: Gutenberg.org . I chose to illustrate this poem because it reminds me a lot of my childhood, and the fun children can have exploring and using JUST their IMAGINATION. Often TV, Video Games, comics, and sometimes even books limit the infinite bounds of a child's imagination by feeding them a bunch of stereotyped, processed, and commercialized garbage. Oh my! Cross your fingers for me, I might get TWO illustrations done this week!!! As a side note, this illustration is the second installment of my new and improved greyscale-to-color method...and amazingly enough it looks like it will work in ANY situation. I shall try it on a more complex image. If I have time I will post something about the process I used for it later this week. Honestly I can't believe I did that to myself with all the leaves on the trees, but I couldn't stop rendering until everything FELT right. I really feel like this illustration turned out successful.

"Cat 6" is from my recent exploration of geometric abstract pop art during the pandemic I put my art sales on hold. Due to health issues I chose to not engage publicly. During this period I concentrated on exploring a few styles that I had only dabbled in such as Figurative Abstracts, Geometric Abstracts, and simply experimental art. "Cat 6" emerges from the Cat Abstract Series. It is 24x24 inches acrylic on canvas and done in a style that isn't my customary way of creating art. **FREE Shipping** lower 48 states (contiguous US) ... all others HI. AK.

There were quite a few quilts with a Northwest feel to them, but there were also some quilts inspired by foreign lands. Some were inspired by fictional lands! Some were inspired by other hobbies entirely. And this quilt was inspired by the very show it was being displayed in. But a lot of quilts were a bit more abstract, just playing with line and color. Although I felt like I was taking a million pictures, almost spending more time photographing them than looking at them, the quilts I've posted are only a fraction of the quilts I saw, and I didn't even see all the quilts in the show! My friend and I had been meandering and chatting, we had a nice long lunch and even met up with a couple of friends of hers for a bit. As the afternoon wore on, there were still several nooks and crannies left unexplored. We had only entered one or two shops, which were hiding even MORE quilts. Despite scanning frantically every time we turned a corner, I still hadn't found my quilt. I was getting more than a bit antsy so I decided to go to the quilt office to find out where mine was hung. Except that I didn't know where the quilt office was, so I had to do a bit of searching for that too! Finally I found the office and a very helpful volunteer checked her list and gave me the coordinates... it was a far corner we'd not gotten to yet.... but ironically was only a couple of blocks from where we had been when I decided to hunt down the quilt office. C'est la vie! Now I was very excited to get to show a quilt in public for the first time, and I was very happy with how my quilt had turned out. But after looking at literally hundreds of quilts that were, honestly, far superior to mine, I was feeling a bit out of my league. My friend was doing a good job of encouraging me and had said "They've probably got yours off in it's own area because it's so unique!" Which sounded plausible... I hadn't seen any other 3D type quilts in the show. Until we turned the corner and saw this. Gah! Someone had done *my* quilt, but they'd done it bigger and better than I did! Seriously, this quilt is amazing and it had much tighter quilting than mine. So to be honest I was a bit crestfallen. I know, I know... it's not a competition, but still, it's hard not to compare when someone else has used the same pattern. My disappointment didn't last long however, because as we walked up the block my friend shouted "I see it!" "Where? Where?" I didn't see it, I just saw another, similar 3D quilt in Asian prints (didn't get a picture). "It's right in front of us - you can't see it because it's sideways." My little heart started pounding and I all but ran up the block to see a handful of women looking at my quilt. Giddy as a school girl I positively SQUEALED at them. "This is my quilt! This is mine - I made it!" But you know... in a totally refined and classy way. ;) The ladies were very generous in their compliments and one even asked to get a picture of me with my quilt. It was my own personal 2 minutes of quilting fame, and it felt very good indeed. Satisfied with seeing my little quilt out there with all others, we wandered off to see another area, and to take a bit of a rest. But I wandered back later and snapped this picture from across the street... of another person taking a picture of my quilt. =) I did try to sneak up and overhear what people were saying about my quilt, but although a few people did stop and look, by the time I got over there they'd walked off.... and several people just walked on by without even stopping. Oh well... I was incredibly happy to be a part of the show! Now that I've broken the ice with a fun show, I am super excited to participate in future shows. I know I'm not quite up to competition level, but I absolutely think it's worth it to show in Sisters again. Maybe even because I'm not at competition level. I want to show that even someone with a full time job and other hobbies, even someone who quilts at the kitchen table without the benefit of a long arm, computerized, stitch- regulated, sewing machine can still make beautiful quilts. And those quilts should be shown and celebrated too.
