I have this in Autumn colours too, but think I may try something different with that one. I gave some consideration to adding a transparent frame, but decided against it at the last moment. I also had assistance with this title.. Thanks Nikoneer ! Comments are most welcome. Best viewed in full screen. Thanks for looking my friends! Lori

The irregularly curving arms of this shape, the short brush-like strokes, and the variety of hues of blue instantly reminded me of Vincent Van Gogh's artistic style, developed in his time at Arles (where he "lost" his ear), and a real departure from his early works, like "The Potato Eaters." I'm sure he saw visions of shapes and colors much like this in his dreams, before creating his famous "Starry Night" painting. He would agonize for days over each piece. Van Gogh died a pauper although his work commands millions of dollars and the utmost of respect today. Such is the lot of artists, during the renaissance as well as now. You are an artist Lori, and we Caedesians who get to sample your work know it. We all just need to figure out how to make a living from what we love to do. Thank you for the acknowledgment.

Well, I have to say, I agree with Nikoneer. But I also noted that, viewed in full screen, this looks very much like embroidery. Individual stitches in a blue hombre floss is what I see, and I loved it! Faved and saved this one, and fantastic job, Lori!

The only thing is that I don't believe VanGogh would ever have ventured into painting like this creation. The short strokes yes.But not the design. He would have really lost his mind. LOL
I like the colours here, the design is almost as tho it was a little windmill, like we used to play with as kids. Nice. V

You have the Van Gogh colours correctly done - but please don't go all the way - I am sure you look better with 2 ears!

God knows what Van Gogh would have done, but I think he'd have liked this. Reminds me of the color palette he used in several paintings though. Lovely creation, Lori. Sorry I'm so late in commenting.
