Forest Nymphs
Glen over at Quilts and Dogs blog did a Mattise inspired art quilt and it got me looking at his work.
Was never a fan but then never really looked at his paintings in "fabric terms"
This is the original - called "the dance"
Got this far and something about the tree just didn't work. So took some bright orange thread that I thought I would never use but look how it jazzes up the tree. If I were to make this again I would put a big ol' moon behind them all but the sky quilting gives it movement .
Uh - oh , just noticed the one on the right is missing a boob.
I must fix that ;-)
hard to be a forest nymph with one boob
My car this morning - so glad I have the day off
Sew day!
