How did we get from a bible story to "Good Samaritan" laws? A universal theme of neighbor interpreted in the style of Van Gogh. I used ribbon to simulate the broad brush strokes of our master artist. This was fun and the perfect venue for trying new techniques.
Amazing the way you used ribbons! So innovative. Is the painting one of Van Gogh?
ReplyDeleteYes Alice it is Van Gogh. He did lots of religious paintings. You rarely see them as the art historians prefer his darker side.
DeleteThe use of the ribbons is so creative!! Beautiful colors! Kudos for this innovative technique which I now want to experiment with.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! Love the ribbon brushstrokes!
ReplyDeleteAnd colors are fabulous!
I love the way you interpreted this image in fabric. As always you come up with creative ideas for the theme.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally in awe of your use of ribbons to simulate brush strokes, absolutely brilliant! I've always loved Van Gogh's work, but do not recognize this particular painting, so have a bit of research to do! What a beautifully rich quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat an extraordinary and perfect interpretation of our theme .... Of couse.... "Love thy Neighbor as theyself."
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of using the ribbons to simulate brush strokes ...Literally a "stroke" of genius !
Absolutely beautiful !

ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the rest. The use of the ribbons to simulate brush stroke is stunning. I can not tell from the photo. Did you use just silk ribbons or a many different kinds. This quilt is awesome.
