It raining again in the Pine Patch. Yay!
And here is the Pine Series so far...
I have only made 8, so there is one repeat in this ninepatch. Imagine my happiness at finally 'getting the concept' of series work! I have a theme, and a size and repeatable elements, and can make variations that are challenging enough to keep me engaged.
Now that I look at the group I see three specific types: the stack, the house motif and the 'pieced' variation. It's good to be able to analyze the work so I can add to the mix. In the last one I changed the tree design, to reflect trees I have used in previous work.
In this case, a really ancient piece. The trees are red against a really dark green. Hmm. I like the other leaves in this piece too. Good to revisit old work.
I like the black in the vintage fabrics for contrast with your brights and really like the new trees. I think you could do a leaf series too.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see them grouped all together. Loooooove them! Especially the last one. It's great to see that they're selling, too.

ReplyDeleteI like this one the best for some reason... the whole series together is really striking. The variations in the tree values gives a real sense of depth.
