November
3 panels, each 24" x 60"

I made November my first summer at The Quilted Gallery in Rocky Neck Art Colony. Being surrounded by artists, most of whom were painters, I heard a lot about the different schools of art. So I decided to do a quilted work that would be "impressionistic." I call these panels November since the "sky" color reminds me of a cold November sky. I used four shades of the same Hoffman leaf print for my backgrounds and I think of them as sky, dry leaves, water, and wet ground. So finally my idea was as if you were looking out French doors at a late fall scene. But I have had people come into the gallery and look at these panels and say "That is the ocean breaking over the rocks." So I guess I suceeded in making an impressionistic piece that allows people to see different things.
