This is based on a selfie that my daughter Rebecca took and I was inspired by the portraits that Münter used with the black outlining. I confess that I haven't quilted the background. But I'm not sure I want to or have to. It's on an iron on batting so doesn't need it for stability.
I agree.....i would most probably also have left the background unquilted. Great interpretation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great portrait of Rebecca. Love it. And if you haven't met her, trust me, it is a very good likeness. No, I wouldn't quilt the background either. Hilary
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait Diane. I like your interpretation of our artist's style and I agree I probably would have left the background unquilted.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others, great portrait and and leave the background alone.
ReplyDeletelove it Dianne, it is a real success. great likeness and great interpretation!
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great portrait of your daughter ,Rebecca . I am sure she treasures the fact that you chose her photo as part of your artist series
ReplyDeleteI think the background speaks for itself. Perhaps darker outlines here and there would be more like Gabriela's work.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the background doesn't need quilting. The portrait is strong enough on its own and I think that more quilting would distract from it rather than add something.
