PURPLE SUNSET

Nearly 3 weeks into this project and it's finally finished.  It was transformed from the initial concept of recreating a photo using fabric as the medium, to simply echoing the majesty of a purple sky.  Purple skies are actually quite rare, but they are a completely natural phenomenon.

Sonji M. posted this photo on 12/2/25 on the Heritage Placer Vineyard Facebook page.....it immediately inspired me. I don't recall ever seeing one quite like this.  

Though my vision for this piece changed after several creative construction pivots.....I'm very pleased with the outcome. NOW SOLD!!!!
