Another Barn Quilt

I was busy as a bee painting another Barn Quilt with teacher Cindy Oard at It's a Girl Thing.

I found this church quilt block on line, and Cindy had the pattern all ready for me when I arrived.

I painted my first 2 Barn Quilts is bright colors with strong contrast. This time I used a more monochromatic color scheme.

The next time you see my Barn Quilts they should all be hanging in the carport.

Color of the Week

The color of the week is Tomato, Tomato, Tomato, Tomato.

What color is a tomato?

As you can see, these tomatoes from my plant are happily ripening on my kitchen counter; changing color day by day.

Abstract Art

Abstract Art, what is it? 

I like this definition of abstract from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English : existing as a quality or concept rather than as something real or solid.

In Abstract Art the artist is more concerned with presenting color, shape, form, texture, line, than in making an actual representation of the world around us.

In Abstract Art you subtract a lot of detail, and what you are left with is color, shape, form, texture, and line.

Here are two examples of Abstract Art that I found on my last trip to TX.

What makes these art pieces interesting?

Colors of the Week

The colors of the week are:
                                 Blue &
                                 Orange
And according to Chagall they are lovers. So much for color theory.
I only know that I love them together, so they were an obvious choice for my latest Barn Quilt, Don't Drink and Quilt.
A simple design that simply POPS with the combo of Blue & Orange.
