I love not only the colour change effects, but also the emotional responses the colours, tones, and their layout can evoke. I admire the way you can achieve meditative calm in Structure #28, and a feeling of movement - a spiral dance in Structure #48. And this is my reaction to small flat pictures. I imagine that the work in its full reality must be aweinspiring. You show so well how an aspect of similarity can have so many different manifestations.

Was that the same photographer? They look much more mustardy here. Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm just working on a quilt at the moment thats not working out how I had hoped and sometimes its good to browse around and check out whats happening in the big world. Hi Lisa,

I recently bought the Quilt National 2005 book on Amazon and the colours of your quilt in the book are totally different! Was that the same photographer? They look much more mustardy here.

Thanks for all the inspiration. I’m just working on a quilt at the moment thats not working out how I had hoped and sometimes its good to browse around and check out whats happening in the big world.

He encouraged us to not get caught up in trying to duplicate the image but instead to look at it as a new creation. This thinking has been incredibly helpful to me as I have taken my paintings created in traditional mediums and translated them into digital paintings." After I wrote this, I thought of you, Lisa, and my noticing that even between browsers the colors of your quilts are different. This idea might be helpful as you look at your digital images and they differ from your quilts - and that doesn't feel so good. Hope this helps! ~ Diane Clancy Hi Lisa - I just wrote a post in my blog and I thought of you … so I want to quote

From Diane’s blog - http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog (The Empty Chair - Pastel)

I often have 2 browsers open when I post. That way I can look at the post easily in a separate browser as I am writing. After I wrote my comment and looked at the whole post again, I was shocked! I am writing in Firefox and I have Safari open and looking at the post. Side by side the colors are incredibly different. Same screen, same computer, same eyes, same time ... you get the point - but the different browser makes the colors look so different!! The neutrals look the same so I didn't catch it til now. ~ Diane Clancy I have to say something else. I often have 2 browsers open when I post.

They are fantastic!! Lisa, in Photoshop, you would probably be able to retone the image to be more accurate and be how you want. I think it is great - but I haven't seen the original. Sometimes color clouds the structure of things but the structure is striking in the color also. I am very impressed (maybe a little jealous) of all the work you have been able to crank right out!! Keep it up! ~ Diane Clancy #28 abd #31 are my favorites too! They are fantastic!!

Not only is the fence/border thing strong, but there is a language going on here....its good stuff.
