I don't think these two still life paintings need an explaination but since this is a blog I should say something about them, lol! The pears are more realistic than the flower arrangement and that was done on purpose. I painted the pears from a photograph and the flowers were painted from a still life setup in my studio. It was intended to be more whimsical. I actually used a piece of hand dyed fabric for the back ground that was exactly that color of bright yellow green.
This portrait of an older woman praying is my latest painting. The hands were hard for me to paint. I really like this painting....not that it is well painted but I like the subject.
I felted this piece Sunday afternoon. This is just a start, it has a long way to go before it is finished. I have more defined felting to do then I will add embroidery stitches and maybe some beads. You may remember this design.....I took it from one of my abstract paintings. The painting is 6" x 8" and this piece will be about 18" x 24" when it's finished. Maybe I'll have it finished in time to enter into Fiberworks in June.

Hi Kay,
I hadn't checked out your blog in awhile so I hadn't seen the one of the older lady praying. I know it isn't supposed to look like anyone particular but it reminds me of Grandma and Ruby. Guess just because I've seen that similar pose from them many times.
Thank you, Jenny! The photo that I used as reference didn't look like my grandmother (your great grandmother) but she was heavily on my mind while I painted this.
