February's Bee Sewcial @beesewcial prompt, Bee Still My Heart, came from Stephanie @spontaneousthreads. We were to be inspired by the abstract art by Clyfford Still (click for Clyfford Still Museum to see some of his work), using a color palette of our own choice.
The other component of our blocks was to represent the lifeline from our own palm. Mine is represented by the blue line. The final block measures 15.5" x 25", and I will deliver it, untrimmed, to Stephanie at QuiltCon, per her request. This was a challenging prompt(!), but I was glad to be exposed to Mr. Still's work.
Interesting project! I was reading about Clyfford Still, thanks for the link and I noticed he spent some of his early years in North Dakota, Alberta Canada and Spokane, WA and I believe I see that influence in his work. We've traveled through those areas and you can't help but feeling the immense, rugged spirit of those areas. And Clyfford Still does capture that in his art.
