A box of old quilt pieces from my husband's grandmother's house was the inspiration for this painting.  If you are a quilter, then you will know that "Ocean Waves" is the name of the quilt pattern that is tacked to the wall in the painting.  I combined the quilt pieces with other items from her or that reminded me of her.  I tried to use things that might have been found in her house in the late forties or fifties.  As in Kitchen Still Life, this painting was done at a time when I was mainly using antiques as the props in my work, imparting a nice homey feeling.  Other prints that contain quilts are in a commissioned painting, Quilts and Pure Indiana.
