| Early Snow, by Jeanne Turner McBrayer, 2015
I actually started this one last year, before we had even moved in to the cabin. After painting from a photo reference, I got stuck. Everything looked kind of boring. All that white! But...I fell back on some of the lessons I have learned from Tom Lynch via his workshop last fall and his books. I added a variety of color to the tree line, planted some imaginary rhododendron on the hill in front of the cabin, and cropped out the lower part of the scene. It included the pond, a dock, and a chair. With help of some friends, I made the decision to crop them off and let the eye be led right to the cabin, the only real warm tones in the painting. Much better!

I like to make all kinds of quilts, from postcard to king-size. I have a Gammill longarm quilting machine, several domestic sewing machines, and also work with a Babylock Embellishing machine. In the past few years, I have tried my hand at painting with watercolors and art journaling. I also throw in a little nature photography and the occasional travel or grandchild pictures. Thanks for stopping by!
