Here are a few of the pillows that have sold lately.  Apparently I underestimated how much people would love these pillows.  I have had soooo much fun watching people come into the gallery and connect with the words or the colors.  It is like they are being matched up with their perfect pillow. I think I might like that even more than creating them...well....it might be a tie ;D

Lady Bird

Lady Bird

Here is just a fun little 5x7 that I did.  I am finding myself being drawn to birds these days.  Don't know why.  But when this happens, I just go with it.  I love the meaning of the Bluebird and how it represents happiness.  Maybe I am in search of that feeling of being content enough to just have a bird on my head.  Maybe it is the season and color is what I am craving.  If I go into thinking about the reasons for some of my art.....I just might go a little crazy.  Instead, I get out the paints and just paint.  Whatever comes out is supposed to at that time.

So, Lady Bird it is!

Enjoy! -M

New Art Pillow

I am having a ball combining painting and fabric.  There is something about fabric that almost makes me cry, I love it so much.  The way it folds and takes color.  The way the wind can catch a piece of silk and wrap it gently around my arm.  There is a time and space for every piece of fabric I find.  Each piece comes with it's own memory.
 That is what I love about it.
Enjoy!
