I saw this quilt by the Upland, CA artist at PIQF. It has been on my mind, even though it wasn’t one I would consciously select as a favorite. I think it has been on my mind because of the colors. I might see leaves that color, however I mostly see leaves which are rust, orange or brown.
Also, the road and trees look very white. The road and trees could be covered by snow or the light could be different or strange. It could be very early in the morning or just at twilight on a snowy day.
The contrast in this quilt is really interesting,which is probably why it has been on my mind.
That’s a beautiful quilt, it really reminds me of some of the graphic novel illustrations I’ve been seeing lately. There are a lot that use black/white/grey and then just a bit of color. It is really effective and it leaves a lot up to the viewer.
Did you see this at PIQF? I agree t hat the style leaves a lot up to the viewer. I am glad she didn’t try to reproduce a photo.
Interesting, I thought it was a coloring book image when I saw it in the smaller view. Most of our Red’s are gone, we still have yellow, orange and brown; at least until the rain takes the rest down.

Excellent observation! It does look like a coloring book image.
