colour palette generated for this piecebravo, superstars!
the 1st round of the ekphrastic challenge was met with fabulous nominations and suggestions! i just loved seeing your artistic interpretations of the art & the tones that create it!
so as requested: round #2!
today we're oohing and aahing at one of mr. rikrak's very favourite pieces of modern art, the breathtaking pavane by canadian artist jean paul riopelle. if you've ever had a chance to see this piece in it's mammoth (300 x 550.2 cm overall) 3-panel glory at our beautiful national gallery of canada, it is safe to say that you, like me, might have been... in ... awe!
i just love those gorgeous tones, the textured brushstrokes and the crystally movement of the piece. thought it might be perfect for today's weather!

I think Sew Mo's Henrietta Bag evokes these colors.

As soon as I saw the piece I thought of this item from my mom's shop. I think the palette in these gloves is a pretty close match to the inspiration tryptic. The stitch pattern also mimics the brush strokes in the painting.

Thanks! Have a wonderful tuesday~
The shades of blue in this piece are gorgeous. I would love to see this in person. The glass-like texture is reflected in this necklace with a sky blue swarovski crystal and oxidized silver evoking the shades of grey:

these are gorgeous finds, nicies! can't wait to see them all together.
This painting reminds me of oxidized silver! I love it! Here is a very popular piece from my shop that matches well!

We designed a special challenge entry. An artistic artprint on our Nauli CD Cover.
"Winter in the Alps" shows a fabulous woman skier in front of a mountain landscape.
Riopelle's colours are matching so great for this theme! We are looking forward to make this design on other CD cover patterns, which was not possible because of long drying process.

I love these challenges! What a wonderful way to see things differently...
I suppose only someone as complicated as I am would see modern art and think antique silver...
