I have been working with pretty strict color palettes lately, a lot of neutrals... guess I just had to break out those saturated hand dyed colors! I also used several colors of thread, quilted to nearly an obsessive-compulsion just because they're so fun to look at.

The composition is based on a photo of red-petalled Brown-eyed Susans. I took the photo in my friend Becky's beautiful garden. This group of red and orange petals stood out from a field of regular (yellow) Brown-eyed Susans. I couldn't take my eyes off them; why did they develop these colors? Clearly the yellow ones were surviving just as well. So how did this change happen in their plant genes? Maybe they're just showing off.

I love, love, love this piece. I had to look twice to make sure it was not a photograph. Beautiful work!
