'The Big Wave' -work-in-progress'
''Cormorants' - I recreated this using fabrics and thread using my photo of these entertaining seabirds. A few of the features that were new to create were the worn ropes (primarily created with thread), and the reflection of the rusty ship buoy in the water - a beautiful blend of golds, copper, burnt orange.
The finished piece is 22" x 28" and was framed.
The Big Wave - includes different types of waters: ocean, coastal waves, tidal waters. Created with fabrics and threads I tried to capture these different types of water effects. I always start with pinning the different fabric pieces, tacking them in place with a small amount of glue, then sewing them in place in addition to adding addition details using thread.
