Six years ago I visited the Paducah Quilt Museum with the expectation of seeing old, dusty quilts, but I was shocked and amazed to see quilts that looked more like paintings. Then about a year ago I came across some paintings with very soft, flowing lines and shapes which reminded me of the quilts from the museum. Below is a drawing from my "Room for Squares" sketchbook with the soft, flowing lines I saw in the quilts. The tree represents a large walnut that once stood in my backyard. For many years it did not produce leaves, but appeared healthy and robust. The cityscape in the background represents the urbanization that possibly killed the tree.
