Always liked sunsets! Of course it is at a beach, cannot avoid my like for them. It was so much fun to work with really bold colors. It is fun to work in round shapes, and then frame it. I like it!

This was a commission for a friend. She wanted a heart with flowers, so I made contact with my daughter Anne-Marie and she made this design perfect for what she wanted. It was so much fun to build up the heart with different materials. The leaves and the flowers were felted. The background has some insinuated butterflies. My son Miguel made the stretcher and covered with canvas, it came out good. A lot of work, but worthwhile! It was really three pairs of hands in it!
Another beach, another story. This beach just appeared by itself. It was fun to imagine the water coming down the stones, getting into the sea. Love to do felting, it feels like painting in watercolors!
