FRAMING THE CIRCLES

DyeVat quilts going to Chris, the framer, today. He'll be floating them in white washed frames-going for the minimal look. UV plexi this time-easier for transporting to west coast. Reminder - so I don't forget to tell him.

Check out Adventure Morocco! (noted on right). Marcia is going to Fes this wknd. I'm expecting photos of the dye vats that inspired these 3. Looking forward to her impressions. She writes a very engaging blog. Do take a read!

THE REAL THING OR.....?

Ports of Color @ Windows Cafe My Jeep is packed with art, graphics & tool box. Two friends will meet me at Walnut Hill at 9am tomorrow to hang the show.

Pictured below are my 4 pieces inspired by the dye vats of North Africa. The originals are being framed for their new owners. These are actually giclee prints of the originals. The quality of these giclees never fail to amaze me! The original gouache Painted Dye Vats was painted on a gessoed brown paper bag. The giclee print of Painted Dye Vats (at right) challenges reality!

I love this piece. Maybe I am a painter after all!
