"If you weren't stargazing ...you'd be home by now"
More gnomes... more sketchbook project pages!
This page was based on Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night":
The colors from this painting paired with the stars led me to my next page:
"If you weren't dancing with the stars ...you'd be home by now"
This page was based on Henri Matisse's "Icarus":
And since this cut paper collage by Matisse was part of his "Jazz" series, it led me to my next page:
"If you weren't making music ...you'd be home by now"
This page was based on Jean Dubuffet's "Jazz Band":
One thing leads to another, and I continue to plug away at my Sketchbook Project.
(The theme for my sketchbook is "...you'd be home by now". If you'd like to find out more about my inspiration, you can find it in this post.)
I dream of gnomes...
You are on a ROLL, girl! AWESOME, stuff. Love this. xxoo
