I've zeroed in on what's drawn me to those
Blues in the previous post and making me quietly repeat my
quilter's prayer.
It's
this spectacular painting by a young painter living in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Ambera Wellmann.
I keep staring at it an wondering what it's making me feel. Something I can't put my finger on. Art with deep emotional content has been pulling me in lately at every turn and making me realize that I want this from my own work and have no idea how to capture it beyond obvious moodiness. I turn away from the anxieties of reality to times past both real and imagined with escape in every stitch.
Instigated by Jude's wondrous
Fling, I've tried to escape the heat with my own version, A Summer Garden. Dye junkie that I am, you cannot imagine what it took for me to come up with some white fabric for this. It's only 45" square and I'm fresh out.
