Anita Marci's "Palm Bark Plaid"


"Palm Bark Plaid" was a very fun piece to create!  I had never used palm bark before, but it is very plentiful here on Maui.  The under-painting is inspired by a Helen Frankenthaler painting.  The blue and brown were selected to match the colors in the fabrics.  It is difficult to see here but there is a plaid on the pillow shams.  After the acrylic painting was complete, I glued the bark on top with my favorite Tacky glue.  It was then stretched and installed.
