Here are my attempts at collages derived from Eddie Ross's color schemes. Here's what Eddie had to say about this one:
Here we found inspiration for a dining room, full of rich, saturated color. The walls I'd lacquer magenta (Aruba Pink IB52), trimmed in gray (Natural Gray VM78). I'd do a modern glass dining table with traditional balloon back chairs covered in a marigold yellow mohair (Cypress VM27). The ceiling I'd paint cream, then hang an antique French chandelier, dripping with crystals.
I used a couple of my own photographs in these collages. The lavendar was not as hard to work with as I thought it might be. It's possible I'll use it again. I guess I forgot about the yellow. . . I'm going to take a break from these "forced" color schemes for a while and try to invogorate my own work. So far my challenge to myself has taught me to trust my own sense of color. 
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI love both of these works, but especially the second one where you can see traces of branches. Then again I love any tint or shade of purple. These would be magnificent in my house. I also love gray. So, top marks from me on these.
I loved this series...
ReplyDeleteMary, these are yummy. I especially like the one on the right. I love gray, and with the lavender it is very sophisticated. Working daily as you do is the best gift an artist can give them selves. Wow.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, I have been following your blog for a while and like to leave a comment right now. It is very interesting how you get your inspiration and where it will lead to. I like the idea of collages. Your choise of colours are so in balance. Anyway I love to see them! Just now I started a online course textured surfaces, but during the time doing the experiments I have noticed that I like the collage-method. At this moment my life is full of feltmaking. My creative blog is at www.dovadi.web-log.nl/fiberfusing.

Margaret: You want 'em, they're yours. Thanks for the top marks.
ReplyDeleteJazz: Thanks so much for the compliment.
Leslie: That's me, for sure. . . sophisticated. I guess it just comes out in those little collages, huh? Thanks for the "yummy".
Dorie: I checked out your beautiful blog. . . I can't understand even one word, but the photographs are wonderful. I especially like the doors on the old buildings. Thanks for leaving a comment, I appreciate your visit. And I urge you to try some small collages, just for fun and inspiration.
