In warm weather, I sometime still paint silk scarves. It is much like a daily practice, like writing in a journal, or meditating. It starts out as a white scarf, a blank slate that can become anything.
I usually paint what I have recently seen, what is on my mind; the iris that are blooming, the bird at the feeder, the cranes in the fields. I put images on both ends so the imagery can be seen when the scarf is worn.
My scarves, and cards, which are photographs of my scarves and quilts, are sold at:
