Eucalyptus
39″ wide x 54″ tall
In addition to redwoods in our region, we have groves of Eucalyptus trees, so I decided to try a quilt of them. This is a pieced background with the center area painted. The trees are then painted over the pieced area. Sort of an unusual method for me, but then I’m always experimenting.
