6 1/2" Dye Painted Cotton Square by Eileen Gidman 2/$19.95 |
Coordinating 6 1/2” square |
The Creston Valley, where I live is
full of cherry trees and this pair of textile pieces represents the
harvest yet to come this year.
Artistic licence allowed me to
create different compositions than are really true to life. Normally,
we see cherries surrounded almost entirely by the green of the
leaves. Using red and green complementary colours alone I didn't think would convey what I was after - the warm
summer days at cherry picking season. Surrounding the cherries with
big blue sky is meant to achieve that. What do these little images suggest to you?

Oh, my - I'm thinking pie! I so much enjoy cherry season, and the blue surrounding your cherries just makes them so hot and sunny.
