Big Fish
 

Hey all,
Here's my most recent finish. It's called Big Fish at the Falls. It's an abstraction of a fish I saw jumping in the James River near where I live. I made a smallish doodle drawing in my sketchbook, then enlarged it and traced it onto black fabric and painted it using Jacquard Lumier Paints. Two layers of batting and quilted on my Sweet Sixteen. Measures 30" x 39".

Thanks for looking,
Rob

Oh Wow, my granddaughter would love that. She paints beautiful things too. That is lovely!

That's Ah-mazing! What a beautiful piece you've created there - gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I'm expecting to see that at next years Virginia State Fair with a beautiful ribbon attached.. Thanks for sharing your technique/ideas..

Wow, another spectacular piece Rob! Is this going into a show as well? The details are just amazing, I always look forward to seeing your work, you’re so very talented!

Thanks y'all.

Tallchick- it's a piece I made for a biennial show at artspace gallery in Richmond. They asked for a piece that was about the James River, so that's what I came up with.

It's gorgeous, Rob! A real work of art. You just get better and better.

Thanks so much for posting this, Rob. Like Tallchick, I always look forward to seeing your work. Good luck in the show.

That is an amazing quilted wall hanging. I love it. That should be entered into a quilt show somewhere. I bet you would win Viewer's Choice for sure.

Love your work!

Wow That is amazing! You are so talented. My doodles never look like that:-)

Beautiful, love the colors

Gorgeous piece. Love it !

Gorgeous colors and quilting. Your quilting reminds me of Helen Godden's, is she an inspiration? Surely a winner.

That's so cool, Rob! Don't you love Lumiere!

Wonderful! To me it has a Native American or Inuit feel about it. You are very talented :-)

Thanks everyone.

Emilia'sNana- I love Helen Godden's work! Have you taken any of her on-line courses? I took a couple and really enjoyed learning the techniques she used.
