A Quiet Day
"Serenity"- Acrylic Painting 22"x16"

**********************************
I really enjoyed painting this image during a series of those gray Northwest days - love the colors - subtle - yet so soothing . . . .
Also during this type of wheather try this "Color Cure": - Delve into any one of Kaffe Fassett's many Quilting books - they're so filled with Color - Inspiring Quilts - and are photographed in fascinating Locations that would be so fun to visit.
Plus you just might be inspired enough to try sewing together a Quilt yourself-! (Templates and Instructions are included in the back pages).
To start - you wouldn't need to embark upon a Full-sized Quilt Journey - Try place mats - a child's quilt - pillows or even bright new pot holders is enough to get the feel of this most enjoyable Artful Craft.
And just to have a break away from a few of those gray Winter - sunless days - and make your own sun shine-!
