quilt motifs in painting

Company in the Studio

I have wonderful company in my studio every day. Her name is Dragon and she can often be found looking like this… either on my drawing desk or, if I’m using it, on the sunny window ledge.

Quilted Sky

| dodington

My series took a bit of a turn when I produced this painting, “Quilted Sky”.

I’m exploring ways of incorporating quilting aesthetic into other scenes such as landscape, still life and portraiture. This is one of my first attempts to transfer the often geometric motifs from quilts into a landscape. It was very enjoyable to paint and spurred many more ideas… more paintings to follow in the coming weeks!

Don’t worry… there will probably be more cat paintings too 😉
