Quilt, 42"x 54"

Blog: www.mmmquilts.com, Instagram: @mmmquilts

This quilt was inspired by both images, perhaps more so by Pink Rose Trio since the pink/green combination was more prominent. I had started the quilt in January, and had intended for it to take 3-4 months, working on one colour per month, using "strings" which are strips of leftover fabric. Well, it kind of consumed me, and I found I had 3/4 of the quilt done, the pink, black and grey, within a few weeks! I wasn't sure on the fourth colour, though my gut feeling was green, perhaps longing for spring in the coldest month of the winter.... When the images were posted, the thought to use green was sealed!

Making my photographs look painterly is a technique I often use, which sometimes leads to controversy. Some photographers don’t consider it photography, and some artists think making painterly photographs is “cheating”. Good thing I create for myself!

As soon as I saw Helen’s pink roses, I knew I had an excuse to go buy myself some tulips to play with. Bringing some spring into my home is a boon for the spirit as we edge closer and closer to the end of winter.

Spring is coming!

Deidre Townsend: Horses Joking Around

Acrylic on Canvas Board Using Palette Knife

What did the horse say when she fell? 
I’ve fallen and I can’t giddy-up!
Helen’s painting with palette knives is so amazing I had to go buy some and try a painting with them. I’ve been wanting to paint these horses. After seeing her February inspiration piece, I decided to paint them with a palette knife. It does take extra paint, but it is so much fun!

There's something uncomfortable and unfamiliar about painting with palette knife, but (I think) I love it.  I use more paint, place it purposefully, then trust that the blobs of color will eventually take shape.  The finished product also fascinates me. I'm not satisfied just looking at it, I want to run my fingers across its textured surface.

When roses are pink, they’ll smell sweet, it’s true.

If painted with a knife, they’ll feel pretty too.

people like me how to use a palette knife.
