NEW COLLAGE WITH HAND-PAINTED FABRIC

Do you remember a while back I was auditioning some of my handpainted and overprinted fabric for the next abstract piece? Here's an image of some of the fabric I was considering:

The first piece I made was from the gold and green piece on the left. But recently I took a good look at the blue fabric and decided the color needed to be richer and more interesting, so I added deeper blues and greens and some white until I was satisfied. Then it was ready to go. I added three reddish forms and turquoise and white scrim to create a dreamy half-ocean half-sky piece. 

It's called We Three and it somehow reminds me of reading and singing Wynken, Blynken, and Nod to our kids when they were little. Fond memories!
