Landscape Quilt "Red Crow at Sunrise"

Unframed 24 by 29 as a Wall Hanging Quilt (Framed 29 by 33) as Wall Quilt Painting
A 24 by 29 Fabric art painting captures the true spirit of the American West is clearly represented in the history and cultures of the American Indian. Centuries before the first white man appeared in America, many tribes were scattered across this vast country. Each tribe was uniquely identifiable by language, clothing, art, tools , weapons, harvests, hunts, ceremonial traditions, and specifically by territory. But all tribes shared an ancestry with the Great Spirit of the land, a pagan and hauntingly beautiful religion that has survived to today through the legends and lore of the American Indian. The Mandan of South and later North Dakota was a strong, peaceful tribe of estimated 15,000 until nearly wiped out by smallpox. Their villages were trading centers along the Missouri River and prototyped the American West Indian trading post. They made boats of branches and buffalo hides. They built large round lodges and harvested corn, beans, and squash. The famous explorers Lewis and Clark encountered and wrote about the Mandan in 1805, numbering them at about 1200. Thirty years later smallpox attacked again and reduced the tribe to a mere 125. Thereafter they intermarried with the Arikara tribe and eventually rebuilt their villages.

This fabric art painting 20 by 29 (framed) is looking east 40 miles or more on the brink of the Inner Gorge of the Grand Canyon where the scenery is colossal. This is a one of a kind painting and can not be reproduced and will not last at this price. One feels like an ant looking out from the sky scrapers of New York. Between rocky ledges of red sandstone, sunlit cliffs, large columns, basalt, symmetric walls 2,000 feet high, and the Colorado River 3,000 feet below this lookout peak, one is awe-struck by the vastness and depths and grandeur. A beauty unsurpassed is captured in this painting of the Grand Canyon - number one Natural Wonder of the World!

Landscape Quilt "Along the Animas River"

Unframed 29 by 22 as a Wall Hanging Quilt (Framed 36 by 29) as Wall Quilt Painting
This is a 29 by 22 original fabric art painting. Steam-powered with coal, the Durango to Silverton Colorado train is reminiscent of the 1880s mining days. The ride provides spectacular wilderness scenery through the San Juan Mountains sometimes hanging on a cliff, sometimes through a pine and spruce canyon, sometimes along the Animas River. I first rode this train in 1952 as a small child, on vacation from Indiana. I have been enthralled with Colorado ever since and eventually moved to Pagosa Springs. This unique fabric art landscape brings me right back to that first ride stirred with fond memories of family travels throughout the American Southwest.

All of the family eventually moved Out West. In this unique fabric painting Pagosa Peak shines in her springtime glory and galloping horses fly on the breeze.
