I really like the power behind this piece.

I have loved your pieces. This one is stunning. I love the background changing Starry, Starry Night to red. And the refinery really stands out. The little Windows makes it even more dramatic. I used to drive by an oil refinery outside of Los Angeles a lot. This definitely has the feel of that refinery. Now, it's time for solar panels! We have solar panels in the back yard that produce about 70% of our energy a year. I can't see an art quilt from them but if anyone could make them artsy it would be you!

You did such a great job on this, and frankly, I think you did the best job of using a famous work of art as inspiration for your own original design of the the participants for today. Not a copy, but a jumping off point. The original source of inspiration is clear but you took it in a totally different direction. That EB class really helped bring out the best in you!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-3238782677598595142016-05-09T16:25:36.906-04:002016-05-09T16:25:36.906-04:00Wow this is fantastic and your husband nailed it o...Wow this is fantastic and your husband nailed it on the title...good job guys!!!
