Artist's Comments

Layered strips of fabric, free machine stitched using a sheet of solvy as a stabilizer.

Hand painted silk used for the ocean, all other fabrics are synthetics.
Tree embellished with free motion machine stitching.

I love thick brush strokes of Vincent Van Gogh and tried to emulate that with thick and randomly shaped strips of fabric.

Glad you can see the movement in the sky, that was the intent! :D
Thank you Nini, glad you like it. :D
Another amazing piece of work. I'm astounded by the amount of detail you achieve with fabric and thread.

On another note, I'm in love with the spiral stitching in the sky that so perfectly recalls Starry Night. Before I even read the description, I knew there had to be some reference to van Gogh in this piece. It's wonderfully done - subtle enough not to be distracting, but not so much that it gets lost.

I remember this one :nod: You know, I didn't notice the first time around, but you have the shadow of the tree cast onto the beach. Amazing! :clap:
