Separate yet somehow not fixed.”

 

Bands of Color Rug
Bands of Color Rug
For years my wife was an antique dealer and over time she collected a number of hooked rugs. They all had wonderful colors and amazing subtle patterns. I took pictures of several and used this one as a model. I cut the squares apart and reformatted them into vertical columns with horizontal bands of color.
My first try was with colored pencils on vellum as a way to get the soft fuzzy feel that the rug evinces. And then did the acrylic painting on canvas. This required a different technique to get the rich and varied color tones.
