It's in...Ha ha ha, a machine quilting bender! <br /><br />It's interesting how you didn't like this negative space and put it in your junky pile- yet it really suits this picture of a hazy summer morning :) I guess things are really all in what you are looking for.<br /><br />This piece is all about the power of line and color- or maybe I should say tints, tones, and shades, because the palette looks like all of the color could be from one of the green cards of the color charts, including the brown.<br /><br />Just by varying your using of line, with your herky-jerky for leaves, horizontal for sky, heavy horizontal for the horizon line, diagonal zig zag for grass, vertical and outline for the tree, and grass and bush shapes, you have drawn a very specific picture for us. And though it's quite precise in what it all represents, we can see that the lines themselves are quite simple.<br /><br />Just having the tree slightly in front of the horizon line, and the air behind that gives depth and dimension to the whole thing.<br /><br />This is such a great reminder that we have so much power to show great things with just a few brush strokes or pencil lines or machine stitches!mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556867473316439509noreply@blogger.com
