I love the details that are in this composition. I tried to make the pillows look fluffy and comfy, like the artist had just gotten out of bed.
The chair
makes me feel at home, just like you want to sit and talk for a while.
I named this
Van Gogh project, "Red Plaid" because of I how I painted his blanket.
I love plaid and thought it would be a nice addition to the composition. In the
original painting, the blanket is solid red. I think Vincent would have liked
the plaid!
I recently
taught at the event, "Quilting in the Desert" in AZ. It was a great
time! I was the Keynote speaker and this quilt made its public debut. Some of
the other teachers, as well as the audience, were impressed with the piece and
suggested I show it in some of the bigger shows in the country, like AQS and
Houston. This was a great affirmation to me as an artist and I appreciated the
encouragement.
Continuing my
series, "Re-making the Masters", I will definitely re-create another
Van Gogh painting.
