Tuscan Hillside - Silk Painting



For some reason this silk painting didn't steam correctly and the dyes didn't set. I'll try again tomorrow but wanted to post this on time. I'll re-take the picture when it is steamed and I can stretch it.

Paso Robles Vineyard - Silk Painting


I chose to use the wrought iron with a landscape behind it. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Big surprise, another silk painting. I've done several smaller Koi paintings on silk and wanted to try it on a larger scale.

Wrought Iron Grapes Silk Painting


Back to silk painting. I have so much fun doing these paintings that I can't stay away from them for long. I've used the wrought iron theme again on a smaller scale. I concentrated on using more subdued colors on the leaves and am very happy with the results.

Italian Awning


Here is a pastel just to do something a little different. I started it about a year ago and decided to finish it this week. I love the looser, gestural look that pastels can give.
