Happy St. Pat’s Day! Although mostly Swedish, I have some Irish roots too. Here’s some GREEN in honor of the day….

This piece has been in progress for a couple years now. I’ve recently been re-inspired to finish it as it plays well with the other LineScape maps I’ve been making lately. It’s a special place holding good early summer memories, strength, health, and energy – good thought medicine as I work on it. I like having it hanging around on the wall.

It’s the site of one of my favorite sprint Triathlon races – the Pelican Fest, in Windsor, CO. It was one of the first triathlons I competed in and although it’s been several years now since I’ve raced, just seeing this map gets my adrenaline going – good memories!

This collaged work of soft old cottons is fitting, to this landscape and the miles and memories I’ve logged within it. It’s my inspiration, remembering how good it felt to be training and racing. And that’s the first step, imagining it happening.
We’ll see, it could happen again.
You are AMAZING! We chose to stay home, watched Argo, and kept away from the “green crazies” out there today. Although, green is my favorite color. He-he. Be cool … Look forward to more fabulous creations!
Hi Stacy, glad you had a good day staying home…I kinda miss the “crazies” of KC….but do enjoy that the celebrations are much more subdued here than there. It was a quiet day for us here too and I actually got some studio time…always a great thing! XO Ayn
Your work is wonderful…it is the kind of art that makes you take your time to really look. I am in “What If”
Thanks Mo’a, I appreciate your feedback! Glad that we’ll be journeying together in “What if” – I haven’t had a chance to read through all the intros yet, but looks like a great group of cloth mates to get to know.
there’s a little bit of Irish in me.
slainte!
