Sky of the Amish Quilt
By
Shelley Gorny Schoenherr
At times, fields of my hometown seem to unfold
in front of me
like the patches of color and the patterns of fabric stitched together
by hands of the patient ladies who live in my part of Ohio and Indiana.
At certain times of the seasons, the fields exhibit colors that are easy to be intensified in my imagination, creating a quilt of crazy color everywhere I look.
This oil pastel took its inspiration from that memory.
