Silk Painting-Coyote with Squirrels Pillow and Leaves with Birds Scarf

 

I made this silk painted pillow for my husband's birthday in 2007.  It measures 15 by 15 inches.  It's a coyote and squirrels along with acorns and oak leaves.  I lived in Yosemite at the time.

This silk scarf was created during my last summer teaching at Camp Chateaugay.  That was 2009.  I taught a workshop in silk painting and did this piece as an example.  There are chickadees on either end, native ferns and leaves, and an American Robin sitting on a nest in the center.
