Last Lake At the Lake

Sob! Summer at the lake is over. We closed the cottage this past weekend and arrived back to Tennessee this afternoon. Now, to make the transition between households and studios.

Below is the last lake piece created in the presence of the lake for this year. This particular day was one of the last very warm ones. The sky and sand were nearly white in the glare of the low angle of the sun. Wind ripples and boat wakes textured the water.

Lake #46 (13"x 12)

There were many footprints on the beach made by a neighboring family with six children and their two dogs playing on the beach that afternoon. Who would ever have thought that the "other side" of a flower print on a white background would depict all that fun so well.

Here's the piece before the free-motion machine quilting was done at Good Goods during the Gallery Stroll.

Next ... the three lake pieces created during the weekend of my demonstrating at Good Goods.
