And it's great to hear you're going to take a rug hooking class; I hope you love it. I find the process of hooking, doing the hand work, very relaxing and enjoyable. First a bath mat, then a bedroom rug!<br /><br />and Sophie and rappel, you are readers who I know appreciate seeing work in a setting where you can see scale more clearly. I wish I could whisk you up here for a physical studio visit, so you could hold the paintings in the palm of your hand.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-79947488340290977602010-06-11T07:30:34.402-04:002010-06-11T07:30:34.402-04:00I forget how small the paintings are until you put...I forget how small the paintings are until you put them in context! the ruglet looks enormous! the yellow in 'berry' looks much like corn rows / full summer colors.rappelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569445602513667186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-38363717136124748082010-06-11T01:54:35.869-04:002010-06-11T01:54:35.869-04:00Its is interesting Altoon how one art form can inf...Its is interesting Altoon how one art form can influence another quite different one. I like very much seeing them in situ where possible as it demonstrates the size and impact and such so well.<br /><br />I have been shocked sometimes to see how detailed and strong some of your very small paintings are... and even though I can read the measurements I tend to not take that in... the visual is so clear.<br />Interesting colours in your ruglet!Sophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-18555564846287554392010-06-11T00:23:21.059-04:002010-06-11T00:23:21.059-04:00Your rug hooking has inspired me to give it a try....Your rug hooking has inspired me to give it a try... I'm taking a one day adult education class and have big dreams of making a bath mat! I have been enjoying your blog for a couple of months now, the rugs got me hooked ;-) but your little paintings have me facinated!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293118986621010393noreply@blogger.com
