I am enthralled with the ethereal mood and tranquility,
 color palette changes with seasons,  Solace is ubiquitous.

I often compose a large scene, creating it as a diptych,
for working ease; and loving the visual  statement. Equally wonderful
that both pieces can be exhibited separately.

Lone skeletal trees appear as sentinels, witnessing longevity of time,
fun to create with my delicious screen printing “wabi sabi” (beauty in imperfection).

Halfway through this quilt it dawned, I was
speaking for my sister and aunt, both
accommodating their lives in nursing
homes, same as this aspen tree
struggles in the waning forest,
in Rocky Mountain National Park.

"I am most passionate about the elegant (regal, majestic, stately) white and black patterning of the aspen trees, scarred by elk's antlers."

"Nature's continuously occurring and unique motifs are so awesome to me.
I treasure the multitude of values in thegreens, yellows and browns of the
compelling landscapes, punctuated by the blues and grays of changing skies."
