This piece was inspired by a salad that Lauma made that had spinach, yellow beets, cranberries and almonds. Unfortunately if I had thought of it at the time I would have taken a picture of the salad itself!
It's all "glued" down and stitched. But I am thinking that it might translate into a much larger piece. The yellow fabric was created with fabric paints. I just kept wetting and painting until I thought I had the right colour.
I really think this is one of my favourite of your works, ever, Dianne. Love the rich colours you have chosen. Abstract images may be your forte!
ReplyDeleteStrong lines and a great choice of colours. The turquoise cross sings out. Did you play with the position of the cross (the focal point)?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Heather that the abstract pieces you have produced recently have been strong. But I also think you have a talent with landscapes.

I really like your design and agree it could be worked into a bigger piece which would be absolutely stunningly interesting. Your use of colour just speaks to me and I think it is a really good piece of abstract art.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Dianne, not to repeat what everyone else has said. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThere is an illusion of depth from the neutral against such saturation and that kind of blue always adds zing with apricot yellow.I love how this turned out Dianne!
ReplyDeleteI cannot add anymore .. well done Diane.
ReplyDeleteVery unique to think this was an inspiration from a salad.The colours are striking
ReplyDeletein addition to using the complimentary color, you choice and use of the other colors work very well
ReplyDeletelove the design and how terrific of you to paint and paint until you had the right color!
well done dianne!
I agree Dianne, one of your best! Love the colours and the composition. Even though the brighter blue cross is very central it really seems to work!
