Description
The third in the “Wyoming Quilt” series of oil paintings, “Childhood Quilt” was painted by Dawn as a gift for her mother’s 80th birthday. Dawn designed it using drawings Dawn had made between the ages of 4 and 19. All of the drawing elements come from a childhood drawing, but Dawn sometimes combined images from several drawings into one “quilt block.” Sometimes modification to the composition was necessary to fit the image into the square format. The quilt painting elements are contemporary, although Dawn used the original colors (when present) as a guide.
Dawn also created a small book that contains a reproduction of each “quilt” block, her story and sometimes poem about it, and the original childhood sketches upon which they are based. Dawn’s writings are warm with happy memories of her unusual and wonderful childhood experiences and the deeply satisfying meanings that these hold for her.

Well, it looks like I never made a comment on the entire quilt almost a year ago when your site was new. This is a wonderful work and I think being able to see the individual details from it really adds to the understanding of the work as a whole. I have seen and enjoyed this painting up in the kitchen of Mother's house for years. A vote & fave.
