Color affects everything! My work is about color relationships and the energy that color can generate...paintings on silk and on canvas

Transforming Chiffon Square
November dying pause...some because of the broken ankle, some because the weather doesn't work for drying silks. I still have my table on the back deck and when the sun was out today, I was tempted, but I know they won't dry.....Sunday I spent some hobble time on the back deck taking photos of some freshly ironed work. I love painting the big 45x45 square...it's like making a large painting--watercolor, as the dye flows into the fibers and expands. A whole story can be told in a big square and in wearing, they are so transforming. So many ways to wear a big square and depending on how it is folded and drapped, different colors stand out. Sometimes it is hard to know how best to represent a scarf in an image as it can change so. I am preparing to place this one on etsy.com to hopefully find its new friend. These make very nice wall art also, but I don't even have the wall to make the photo fo it spread to its maximum at 45".

mmm, so your dying is for the hot/warm months - and I see your dilema about how to present a scarf - I these photos did the trick :)
It's just gorgeous! I can't believe this is a sheer silk, it looks like a real, textured abstract painting - great work!
