I like to work on round shapes, it is interesting. In this particular one , I just started to make the blue of the lake or sea, and build it up, and voila , there it is my imaginary place. The sunset is really orange, I like it!

This fall has been so beautiful here in Bucks County. There is no end in the beauty. Love to make reflections, I think this came out quite good! It is for the American Swedish Historical Museum, as a donation for the Christmas raffle.

This was one one fun piece to felt from a picture I took of the covered bridge. Actually, PA is one of the few states that still have such bridges. The colors of the fall are amazing this year , and I tried to reproduce them the best I could. This is going to a online show at the Arts @Cultural Council of Bucks County.

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!
