A Long Day by Cynthia Ann Morgan


Blue Monochromatic piece showing perspective, fused applique, hand dyed and commercial prints, size 32 x 36", unfinished.


I was surprised by the variety of blues I found in my stash...that was fun, as well as playing with the perspective of the path and the scenery in the distance. I'll finish it when I return from Houston with a few more details, possible cropping and lots of quilting.


Comments and suggestions welcome!

    I love everything about this quilt. The use of values within the monochromatic color scheme is excellent. The illusion of depth is spot on. My eye travels the path with the two figures. I especially appreciate the way you have used slivers of your darkest color around other pieces to create wonderful shadows. The organic shapes throughout the piece are very appealing and the figures are clear without being overly defined. Spectacular!

    This is wonderful and I know the quilting will add a lot. I'm drawn right into the piece and want to walk down the path. Lovely!

    Hi Cynthia - You have created another lovely work. It pulls the viewer right down the path. The trees with their darker and lighter areas add a lot of interest. I like the detail you have been able to add by working larger. I'll look forward to seeing it after you have quilted it.
