I’ve had second thoughts about the yellow trees in my word challenge art quilt. The AI image had them and I included them in my last post, but they continued to bother me. I’ve always told my students that if something bothers you then change it. AI doesn’t get things right a lot of the time. The bare trees besides the color would not have cast the shadow that you see on the door on the right. So I decided to do foliage outside instead of bare trees.
Here’s the old rendition followed by the new one. I still have to tweak the foliage on the left side, but it’s getting there. Also I had to pick a different background fabric because the piece I was using wasn’t nearly large enough. Looking at the photos now I’m not sure if I’m happy with the new background. Back to looking in my stash I go.

Thanks for reading.

I have to say that the thing that has bothered/confused me about this was more trying to figure out what the boy is looking at in wonder because he seems to be looking at the door, not at something outside. And that is why I suddenly realized that the shadow on the door looked like a hag or witch and maybe that is what he was looking at. But if so, the angle of the uplifted head is wrong. And I guess that shadow itself puzzles me, can't quite figure out how it could be cast on the door in that way. How is the door opening? The door knobs don't seem to be in the right place. So many questions!
ReplyDeleteNot being any kind of artist myself, I cannot comment on the shadows and such, but I do like how the foliage looks--it does add a lot I feel...
ReplyDeletethis is really quite a challenge...hugs, Julierose
