Golden Sunrise, redone
Not happy with the quilted sky, I ripped it out. I was not happy with it when done. However, when someone commented on it, I knew I had to change it. Now it is tied with gold metallic thread in a circular pattern around the sun. I like this much better. Luckily, I have an ergonomic seam ripper. I've used it a lot. However, ripping our clear poly thread is the most difficult.

This is my third try. I was really happy with it before quilting. I think the sun would have been better not quilted. What I really enjoy about all of these challenges [besides the challeng] is looking at all of the wonderful art references. I do remember a Turner titled 'Fire at Sea' or something resembling that. I could not find it online, but it is still in my mind after 20+ years. I think art is like that; it grips you and holds you.

What a gorgeous painting! It certainly answers the challenge nicely. Very Turneresque. I like the quilting, too. The water looks smooth as glass with a the slightest breeze in the air.
You captured the reflection beautifully. This is so serene, I love it.
Ann, this is so lovely! Peaceful and calm, draws me into the scene, I can feel myself relaxing on that little sailboat...Ahhh

This is a very serene scene. I can almost feel the stillness and experience the calm from here. The sun draws the eye in and the reflection takes me out again. You did a wonderful job.
I agree with not quilting the sun, but this a very lovely piece sun quilted or not!
I love what you did around the sun. Made quite a difference. Beautiful and serene. Your sail boat is very well done.

Ann, Hard to find any more words about your piece that haven't been said by all the others. Peaceful, tranquil, glowing - wonderfully done piece, love the quilting.
The reflection of the boat and sun are wonderful. Sandi
