Approx. 24 l x 18 w x 1/4 d inch (61 x 46 x 1 cm).

Falling Leaves #4 was inspired by some photos I took at dusk along the Des Plaines River at Evan's Field in the Chicago area. The setting sun is reflected in the water with fabric reminiscent of an impressionist painting. The falling oak leaves are dimensional and attached to the quilt along the leaf's central veins.
I used a dark brown suede fabric for the tree trunks.
Leaf veins satin stitched with variegated metallic thread.
Impressionist water patterned fabric.

Signed "L Olszanski" in thread on the front side, bottom, center.
Quilt binding with black patterned fabric.

Exhibited in a few shows around the Chicago area including the Fine Art of Fiber, Chicago Botanic Gardens, Glencoe, Illinois.

Designed and constructed from a collage approach, I appliquéd cotton & suede fabrics onto a layered foundation of cotton fabric and quilt batting. Includes black fabric discharged (color removed) and overdyed in orange - reds; and embroidery in the style of Crazy Patchwork with copper metallic thread.
