Week 8- Art Deco’s Delightful Designs

As I settle into my painting-a-week challenge, I’m finding that rather than running out of ideas, which is what I thought would happen, I’ve got more ideas than I can plunk out in a day or so. I worked on three or so pieces all week but wasn’t really happy with them- yet! Sunday afternoon I flipped through one of my current favorite books, Paris; an Inspiring Tour of the City’s Creative Heart

I see fabric, mostly, coming from this but would love to create a whole set of complimentary patterns and color ways for this pattern. Tell me what you think about it. And what does it remind you of?

  1. That was a great post. You’re right when you said the thing about plunking out big ideas so often you were right on. I’ve found its hard to keep creativity regular. That being said, please keep it flowing. Thanks. Susan
