Because Some things just go together. Peas and carrots. Sweet and Salty.
Landscapes and linen.

Landscapes and Linen.
My, my there's just something about the texture of linen.
The warp and weft.
The rumple and fray.
To enhance it with distressing is divine. ( in my book of worn out things anyway)
Just enough gesso peeking through like a curious. raucous cat.
And then bring on then scenes.
Whether pastoral, sea, bucolic, forest, woodland, babbling brook, cascading waterfall or just plain moody or Hudson River-esque ....I cannot resist.
This Is just a small inaugural batch of original works mind you.
Perfect, petite-sized, loose linen backdrops.
Amongst my many, many plans and pipe dreams is to have loads and loads of these.
Surrounded by every conceivable scene, cloud arrangement, sky and earthen color combo
known ( and unknown) to man ( and woman).
I have just a few personal/diva requests...(demands?) to paint copious amounts :
-More time on my hands (coinciding with equal amount of more energy) -Four extra hands (but will settle for two, as long as they are nimble)
-More space, like primo studio space (as long as I’m asking!) just build me a huge state of the art studio, magnificent views , revolving Kraft food table and/or personal chef, massage on demand (optional)
-A huge do not disturb sign.
ok, well I did say pipe dreams.......
So here they are for your perusal.
All original, true one of a kinds.
Distressed, crinkled and rumpled (as linen loves to do),
raw-edged with just the right amount of fray to keep them from being too prim and pretentious.
Do as you please.
Hang them loose, frame them in.
Either way, I hope you love them as much as I did creating them.
