Luscious Moss - And The Urge To Paint it!



I love moss!!
I was so happy to get these pictures, on a recent trip to Oregon.
It had stopped raining and the sun was peeking through.
But I was really cold. (I'm such a wimp!)



I began with this gorgeous view from a window, before I put on my layers of clothing and braved the cold outside. (Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!)



No words necessary ~





















Lalalalalalaaa... oh, sorry... I can't shut-up for that long.
















































Glorious moss!!
What wonderful paintings these would make!!



As some of you know, I paint silk accessories now, like this scarf.



I used to paint fabrics for dancers as well as for the stage. A ton of fun!!
This is my granddaughter as a kid, wearing one of my pieces in "Firebird".
She just turned eighteen!! Slow down, girl!!



But before I became a silk-painter, I painted in oils. Here are some of my paintings.



I've also painted landscapes on silk, using silk paints. This is one of them.



So, not only do I have to decide which photographs to use as inspiration for a painting,
but also which medium to use. Decisions, decisions!!
But fun decisions!! I'll let you know the outcome. ~
