I chose the painting House in a Garden by Picasso. I thought it had simple shapes and not too many colors to deal with.
I got the lesson done and passed, but it was very frustrating and took all weekend. Blogger wants to rotate the pictures so I will skip adding them at this time. It helped to convert the photos to grayscale to compare values.
Then, for part 2, we were to compose an art quilt in just two colors of our choice. This was much more fun. My brain is already in Hawaii, so I made an undersea garden in blue and green.
This one will take awhile to stitch because it is all just laid on top of one another, including the fibers.

Jeanne - I hope you are not ill. You usually post regularly and now it has been several weeks. Let us know you are okay, please.
This looks so hard! I would love to learn how to do landscape type quilting, but I am still learning basic quilting. LOL

Very cool! I love landscape quilts and I'm interested in doing quilts with people faces in them. Don't know how to find directions. Anyone know? Are they called portrait quilts? Thanks for any links or info!
My son asked me recently to turn a painting my mother did into a quilt. Thanks for the tip about putting it into grayscale...that will make it much easier.
Great job!
