Three Black Blobs
I am very pleased with it, not being very keen on his very colourful paintings, it has been much fun to make this into mostly grey and monochrome quilt.
I tweaked a photo of the original painting in Photoshop then removed the colours. Then I pieced and quilted the background, and after some hand stitching, fused the flowers and added machine stitches in black.
I had it in my head for a long time, but true to form started too late, finishing on Tuesday afternoon - long before midnight though...........
Then it turned out I had it problems, thanks for the help Hilary!
Based on the painting (745) Blobs Grow in Beloved Gardens, 1975
Welcome, Mai! Your first entry into the group is stunning! Nailed it!
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of design and choice of colours which are the antithesis of Hundertwasser!
ReplyDeleteWow. Great approach to the challenge. Very successful. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove your garden blobs! and your beautiful quilting. Did you dye the grey square in the middle?
ReplyDeleteNo, that is the original painting Photoshoped in a category called "swirl".
DeleteWelcome Mai-Britt! Love the monochromatic plus approach and the quilting. Very simple and effective!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you joined us, welcome. You've proved there's always a way to make an artist's style work for us. Love your interpretation.
ReplyDeleteWhat an entrance! I joked that I would produce a black and white piece in antithesis of all that vibrant colour, but you went one better. I love your interpretation. Masterful.
ReplyDeletewhat a great interpretation
ReplyDeleteI really like your design and all the elements work together so beautifully - well done on showing his style in a completely different colourway.
ReplyDeleteHi Mai-Britt, great opening to the group. I like the way your very few colours do match up with the original flowers.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Mai-Britt and what a great first quilt - it's an excellent example of combining the work of another artist with your own!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group Mai-Britt. I love your interpretation: it's yours but it's Hundertwasser's as well.
