I will try to quilt them the next time we go to the mountains, where my long arm machine is located. But since it is in an unheated basement, they might not get done for awhile. We are going back to Florida February 8 for my husband's last round of radiation, so they may have to wait until we get back in March.
Just for fun I have been doing some painting on some heavy brown craft paper that was lying around the studio. I started out just painting some circles and applying color with acrylics. The first layers looked pretty awful.
Here is how they look now, with lots more paint, ink, watercolor spray, oil pastels, and gesso. Just playing!
Since these are just on a brown paper substrate, I'm not sure how many more times I can get them wet. These are sort of a preliminary to painting in acrylics on mounted canvas. They may end up
adhered to a journal page before I mess around with them any more!
Last weekend we visited my brother-in-law and his wife in Maggie Valley, NC, outside of Asheville. They live in a log cabin high on a hill. There were lots of photo ops of the beautiful countryside, especially when we woke up to snow on Sunday morning!
We are expecting some snow and maybe some ice tomorrow here in Raleigh. They have already closed schools before the first flake has fallen. It will be interesting to see how much we get here. Our mountain home in northwestern North Carolina may get a couple of feet! We have a web cam on the house, so we can experience the deep snow from a distance.

Your painting is beautiful! The fish and turtle look so real, and I love the warm colors on the others.
