Spice Route I, 24 x 24"This series, Spice Route, was inspired by a neighborhood walk a couple of years ago. The autumn leaves had mostly fallen. Mixed into these glorious colors were a few bright pink petals from a daisy that had escaped the frost.
Spice Route II, 20 x 20"Unfortunately, at the time I did not have a small camera for carrying on walks. I would have to remember this color combination.
Spice Route III, 16 x 16"It would be several months before I got around to putting that mental picture into fabric. Would the final result have been better if I had been able to exactly match the fabrics to a photo? I'm thinking probably not. I feel the colors matter less than the intensity and contrast.
Spice Route IV, 12 x 12"I have since received a camera small enough to uncomfortably fit into my pocket. I rarely remember to carry it with me, however. Does forgetfulness make for good art? For me, its the memory that counts. I just wish my memory weren't getting so bad.
All of these pieces are available on Etsy.

Kim,
These colour combinations are beautiful. When I opened my blog and looked at the thumbnails of new posts yours just leaped off the page. I particularly like the very appropriate titles.
How did I miss this post? Stunning work! And I've just done the post on the grid and here these pieces are on my doorstep. Love these pieces Kim.
