Rembrandt's Bird by Cynthia Ann Morgan

Here's my piece for the high contrast with color challenge. I used Rembrandt's Samson painting for inspiration for the color palette. http://www.wga.hu/html/r/rembran/painting/biblic1/samson.html
Good thing I'm a hand dyer...I had lots of value choices on hand.
Comments and greetings welcome!
Thanks,
Cynthia

Wendy said...: Cynthia! Great job.... I'm so glad you are working in abstract. Love how the bird is almost hiding, yet so visible... it's like he's in a tree of foliage! (Oh to have time right now to do this challenge!); 12/3/11, 10:40 AM

Susan B said...: Great color palette! Using warm neutrals alongside the cooler ones is not an easy thing to do, but you have done it masterfully. The bird is hiding a bit isn't she? I particularly appreciate the strong light source. It is kind of Rembrandt-y isn't it?. (That's SO not a word.); 12/3/11, 8:14 PM

Susan Ward said...: Cynthia - Very nice this would look awesome in my living room. Looking closely at the fabrics used, I really like the contrast the of solids and printed fabric.
Very classy
