Rhapsody in Blue

At first I got caught up in her cause and the politics and the result was insincere and trite.  It wasn't until the last minute that I woke up to taking elements of her work and this is the result.

Rhapsody in Blue
The inspiration was drawn from these pictures.




Applique, and paint (Jacquard Lumiere).  Perhaps if I hadn't been working against the clock I might have positioned the scrolls better...

  1. The simplicity of the design is very striking and I love the suttleness of the city line in the background.I am happy with your ribbon position.

  2. I like this, a simple combination of the motifs Hassani uses. Phil's comment serves as a good reminder to review these pieces in full screen - I'd missed the city line at first glance.

  3. Hilary, I see this as a perfect illustration of what we are attempting to do. Take the artist's work and draw inspiration from its essence without necessarily copying. Love it. I too would have missed the cityscape so thanks Phil!

  4. I loved the way Hassani expressed her idea of freedom with music with the piano keyboard . This quilt of yours has a very peaceful feeling about it and that touch of blue with the "writing"is the perfect contrast .

  5. I love the way you have taken some of Hassani's recurring motifs and combined them in such a simple yet striking composition. The blue filagree is so delicately done, it gives a real air of lightness to the quilt. Claire

  6. A beautiful piece Hilary in its simplicity with the piano keys and as Claire said the blue filagree which is so delicately done. I agree with everyone's comments.

  7. This is lovely Hilary. I really like how you have taken the ideas and made an abstract out of them. It's beautifully executed too.
