I am still exploring simple shapes and repeat images.
Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I have to admit that I looked at Quilt Rat’s response for one of the other prompts and it did influence me. I was thinking a lot about the Genie and receiving 3 wishes.
This isn’t the response I wanted to put up. The prompts are stacking up, however and I was starting to get anxious. As I looked through the journal pages from the A Work of Heart session/class, I found this page and thought you might enjoy seeing it.
I worked really hard on the studies for a drawing response to Purple that I can’t just let go. Look for another Purple response some day.
Summer was a difficult prompt. It is hard to draw (my mode of expression in the CPP, mostly) an expression of summer without people. I do find a few people or parts of people starting to creep into my studies for the CPP responses. Hhmmm. Let me know what you think and I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Check out Kathy’s Bliss Initiative, which is on Creativity this week.
After working so hard on the detail on last week’s response, I find that this one doesn’t have enough detail. I did a number of studies and couldn’t figure out what else to add so I am just posting it.
On one hand, the art on the wall of the dining room has a lot of detail. Perhaps it balances the sparseness of the rest of the drawing?
After looking at a few of my recent drawings and I realized that I hadn’t been adding as much detail as I had in the past. I had some bits of time this week, so I decided to try and add a few more details to this one. This is the second attempt, but I am pretty pleased with how it came out.
Yes, I am moving furniture around. 😉
I looked at Jill’s response (Quilt Rat) as soon as she posted it and I was lost. Her response was so perfect that I couldn’t think of anything. I tried different ideas and nothing seemed as perfect as her response. Finally, the next Friday’s response appeared and I knew I just had to do something and not be a slacker. That slippery slope is so easy to get on….
So, for better for for worse, here is my response. It is inspired by a magazine picture I cut out years ago. The inspiring picture is a close-up of a tea tray. I tried to incorporate some of the elements from other responses into this one to keep up some of the continuity.
