Karen's chosen palette was jewel-tones, as indicated in the prompt. I chose to focus on emerald, amethyst, and sapphire, with a hint of topaz to reflect my triptych of water in three forms (l-r): solid (ice), liquid (an ocean wave), and gas (steam). It was Karen's request to leave the block untrimmed, and mine measures approximately 12" x 24".
Well this was a curious prompt to execute. I was in a quandary on how to distribute the colors for interest yet cohesiveness, and also how to 'join' the three distinct panels. At first I thought I'd put a strong horizontal 'divider' between each. But in the end I went with one thin 'thread' between blocks one and two, and another between all three blocks - or block two and three, depending on how you look at it. Either way, I learned a new word and was challenged to represent it. Oh, and except for the inset curve in the middle segment, I created this block ruler-free.
What a very interesting challenge. I think that the phases of water is a great exploration for your triptych!
ReplyDeleteLove your interpretation. Interesting challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did! The three panels look wonderful together, and each also works on its own.
ReplyDeleteWhat a challenge! I love how you transitioned between 1 and 2 with the topaz. And the 'bridge' in the middle joins the three panels beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI like this challenge. You did a great interpretation. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of water in it's three forms is a very interesting concept to fit this challenge as well to depict visually. You did a great job. Don't know how you all come up with your ideas.
