'My Mother's Quilt"

Yesterday, I sat down and got some business done. I photographed four paintings from my 'Nostalgia' series and sent them to my web designer. They should be on my site very soon.

'My Mother's Quilt', is an ironic title as my mother never left me any quilts. She died when I was young so I never knew her. I wasn't consciously thinking of any particular subject when I painted it. I was responding to the marks I was making and enjoying the effect of the feathery white. It's red, white, and blue so it reminds me of a flag, an association I don't really enjoy. So, instead, I chose to tie it to warmth and affection of a maternal caress.
