The drawing phase.

The painting phase.

Continuing to develop the painting phase.

The painting continues to develop.

The finished painting.  

Last week's feedback was interesting. Some liked looking at the layered painting for the forms in the dark areas and others liked the pattern and color of the chevron painting.  It's always good to hear any comments which may lead to more creative avenues.   This week my work started with a paisley pattern and when I took one segment and enlarged it, it became something quite different.  I think it took on a folk-art like style.  It reminds me of the Pennsylvania Dutch tulip patterns.

This design is a Pennsylvania Dutch tulip pattern by Rachel Yoder.
