Another sunset at the beach! At this time of the year the sunsets are so beautiful, so you want to paint them always! As you know I miss the beach, the air, the smells, the colors of the sea!

This piece was made with my childhood memories in my home country Venezuela. My father was absolutely “beach-holic”, every Saturday and Sundays we went to the beach near Caracas, not far away. It was fun to make the braids of one of the girls, the pony tail of the other, my father’s hat and my mother in the recliner reading a magazine. Happy memories!!! This piece is a mix media, because it as mainly rug hooking, but also felting. The sky is painted with watercolors, what a joy!

Looking forward to the autumn, my favorite season. This piece came out by itself, just adding yellows and oranges here and there! So much fun!

This is a very funny piece designed by my daughter Anne-Marie, long time ago. Looking into her patterns I found it. I love how it turned out. A happy crazy rooster!

More sea shores, more sunsets, that is true, but I love to make them!

It was interesting because it has a lot of bright colors as the sunsets at this time of the year! Love it!

I love felting, always trying new things. I saw a picture of a city lights and decided that it would be nice to make one. I like the turn out. The moon completed the picture!

Another sunset! I love the colors of the sunsets at this time of the year, the colors are really bold, so my stash permits me to make them! I will continue felting them!
