Perhaps it is the limited palette which I like best. Of course what is impossible for me is to decide which looks best as a quilt. I hope that I do encounter the real object(s) sometime because your work intrigues me. <BR/><BR/>Industrial buildings are so beautiful. I especially enjoy Bernd and Hilla Becher's photographs.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-85745226144587903602009-02-03T02:31:00.000-08:002009-02-03T02:31:00.000-08:00I knew there was a use for all the closed steel mi...I knew there was a use for all the closed steel mills/factories around here! I'm really intrigued with the way you contrasted the rhythm and texture of the water with the stoic old factories. Also, I would like to know how you decided to change the scale of the pieces in this series. Why was the last one so large? Did you feel like it added more to the subject matter?<BR/>If you ever want to continue this exploration, Erie PA has a bunch more here on the Lake - gorgeous in their way and sad.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-26417661151933361112009-02-02T18:38:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:38:00.000-08:00I always looked at industrial landscapes like at t...I always looked at industrial landscapes like at the most boring and depressing things but not any more… Your landscapes are astonishingly beautiful!!! Very creative, wonderful sense of colors, decorative and at the same time every piece has its own mood! “Rusty answer” would be my favorite, because of amazing composition and happy feeling(colors), but I love them all! Good luck with the next one!Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695654924543318442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-54227902404618573112009-02-02T18:18:00.000-08:002009-02-02T18:18:00.000-08:00I really think your quilts are amazing.

Thank yo...Great fun to see the series all in a row! Thank you. I am impressed with the varied effects/qualities of the water and the light. I think my favorite is Rusty Answer #1 because of its glowing and the skeletal structure of Heavy Metal. Thanks again for sharing the entire series in one blog. Now I'll move to the website to examine them more closely.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-87187879924156723472009-02-02T08:43:00.000-08:002009-02-02T08:43:00.000-08:00Wow, I love these, esp. the 2nd.Wow, I love these, esp. the 2nd.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05357936716362365096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-66488049825001258362009-02-02T08:41:00.000-08:002009-02-02T08:41:00.000-08:00i really like the reflections in the water in heav...i really like the reflections in the water in heavy metal and steel yard freize. it is amazing how you get the texture of depth and sparkliness in a 2-d medium. and you know how i like the sparkliness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
