Sketchbook Project - Week 46

My pages this week included more color play and ideas for future wool paintings.  The toucan will definitely be turned into a felted piece this week--I've been wanting to felt this bird for a long time, and what better time than craft show season?  The purple to sienna brown vertical column was an attempt to capture the color of the sunset and auburn leaves from that night. I was treated to a beautiful scene on a drive here in Arkansas that night, and though I didn't have time to capture details, capturing the overall colors was still satisfying. On Saturday, I taught a workshop in St. Louis, and on our 5.5 hour drive, we so SO MANY hawks, so I thought a messy tree with a hawk silhouette would be quite appropriate.  And then the last pages, the abstract botanical, was inspired by the shapes and colors that I've been attracted to lately.


Enjoy!
