Original piece from 2009...
I drew this right before my daughters wedding...she and I spent a wonderful week hobnobbing around Columbus, Ohio before the big day. We also sat around watching movies in the hotel while I played with my Prisma pencils. I forget how many different colorways I did of this piece that week. She used them for thank you notes.

You've seen this piece many times...it was my banner along the top of this blog for a long time in stitched form. Its also an inset in my Weekender bag from Lee's Needle Art. [aka nylon tote]

So back to the top...which do you like best...precise or free form?? I'm not sure now that I have both painted. It is possible to make oneself go in circles.
Hmm, I don't think I can choose one I like best - both are lovely. Love the original card too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, so far the free form is winning :-)
DeleteI like the free-form one, though both are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara Leigh! You can tell from the comments on FB that free form is winning out :-)
DeleteI like the free form one better, too. It seems like it would needlepoint better, with fewer parts of color that are only 1 stitch wide.
ReplyDeleteFree form, hands down :-)
DeleteThank you!
Well, I'm often the one who marches to a different drum. I like the precise. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMe too...usually but the free form talks to me this time. I like hearing what others feel though, each person will see it differently...even when they agree. Often it will be for different reasons.
DeleteFree Form works for me this time. WHo knows what another pattern would do.

Yes, that is the way of it, perspective is different always.
