The Start

Last night I worked in my studio for 2 1/2 hours and the result was the start of the first South African Impressions textile paintings. It’s quite a departure from my abstract work and rather obviously a landscape.

This textile painting is about 20-24″ square.

In addition to this larger piece I worked on a few ACEOs in the series. These haven’t been quilted yet (neither has the larger piece above) so they lack my usual texture. That will be coming soon.

 
I was thrilled to discover I still remembered how to make art after an almost 3 month break.

This is just 1 of several ideas I have for my south african impressions textile paintings. I was enamored with the houses so expect some of those along with several other designs.

 
For new readers, I spent a month in South Africa in August and this is a series of work based on that experience. Details of the artwork (which can still be prepurchased at a discount) can be see here: South African Impressions
