Original artwork description:

I started this piece several months ago, based on/ after returning from Cambria, on California's central coast... The actual Cottage I referenced had been turned into an Inn for youthful wanderers, and the Clothesline stretched out, decorated with bright Tie-Diyed Tshirts.... I recently sold here, a painting of a Clothesline strewn with patchwork Lingerie made up of Vintage Hankies.... After doing that one, I had intended to do another with actual Patchwork Quilts.... So picking back up with this painting, it was the perfect time and Vibe to showcase some quilts.... As I painted I was also in a most nostalgic mood, over the fact the I will be heading this week to the Town where I was born, near Portland Oregon. There I will pass time with a dear friend since birth who is a Quilting Queen. Teaching, writing, blogging, and designing are areas where she has gained worldwide recognition... So; there you have it... Decidedly "Americana" in feel, I would never have been able to foresee a year ago, that something like this image would end up on a canvas of mine... But there you go... Inspiration can sometimes surprise me, coming seemingly out of left field... Or at least from a field with Quilts Strung across a Clothesline...
