The Day Goes By

Oil, acrylic, gilding powders, shattered glass on carved wood assemblage.

I was taught many crafts by my grandmother, including quilting. In this painting, I traveled back to that early experience of piecing bits of fabric together to create a larger thing of beauty. I treated each board as a unique piece, using color and texture to create a patchwork feel. The colors are muted toward dusk, and the sparkle of glass adds the glint of light at the end of the day.
