Living

I am eternally thankful for every second of my life, and for anyone who shared

 a moment with me, no matter how small.

The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious,

but still a truthful interpreter - in the eye. ~ Charlotte Bronte

Take a Serious Second Look at this Work - Merle Axelrad Serlin

"I create landscapes made from thousands of tiny pieces of fabric.  Fragments of woven color and texture are carefully arranged, layered, pinned and sewn together.  In my fabric collages, I distill a place to its essence, and to this end each piece of fabric is carefully selected to make an individual contribution." ~ Merle Axelrad Serlin  read more here on Merle Axelrad Serlin's artist website

"Merle Axelrad Serlin, a smiling, attractive, vivacious architect turned artist, works with fabric to produce landscapes of stunning color and texture, many of them employing thousands of tiny bits of cloth no larger than a quarter of an inch in size. Working from composite photographs and sketches, she spends hundreds of hours on each individual image, transforming what has been regarded as a traditional craft into a serious art from, through the application of a technique she's perfected over many years."  ~ via Artworks Magazine and writer James Cameron read more of writer James Cameron's Artworks Magazine article on Merle Axelrad Serlin's work here

Merle's work is exhibited in public spaces, museums, and collected privately.  Fabulous video (click HERE .)

Be like the bird that, passing on her flight while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. ~ Victor Hugo

Mr. Bark

I couldn't sleep.  I decided to draw.

This is Mr. Bark.

I enjoyed this painting as part of a fun project I worked under for one of Atlanta's fave designers, Claire Watkins of Claire Watkins Interior Design.   

Claire and this painting will be featured in the winter on HGTV.

Commissions

The beauty of having a fine art abstraction piece commissioned is that is often wish it can be based upon a treasured object or colors in the home which inspire its owners. This residence is streamlined and contemporary, and the wish was for the painting to reflect the the feel of the room.

Sold 

Just as it is ~

"One day you will ask me which is more important, my life or yours?  I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life" - Khalil Gibran

In the middle of creating this painting, the individual who commissioned it came through the door: “Oh-my-gosh I just love this - it is perfect!”  I laughed explained I had not taken it to the place I was heading; a little punch up here, and a delicate movement there, and a splash of accent color there, etc. is where I was headed.  “No, don’t I love it just as it is!”  So I put down my brush.  :-)
