Barcelona



I have never been to Spain, but Barcelona seems picturesque. In my research, growing citrus and fishing came up, as well as Gaudi and Miro. I decided to go with Miro.


Printed out a sheet of info on Miro's life on silk, laid this over an image of the city; used some citrus and fish print and some orange buttons for the right hand third, and interpreted some of Miro's work into ATC sized pieces, which I have added.


I am happy with the results.

Gorgeous; I love Miro, too. Beautiful interpretation of his work.

I have Miro hanging in my house in the form of needlepoints my mother made years ago...and so I can identify your Miro in this piece so very well. I like the story and how you brought it all together. Clever and nicely done.

Marian, I love your interpretation.

Just love the oranges against the blues! This is such a well-thought out piece and you have done Miro proud, especially with the ATCs

Great translation into Miro's life. Maybe we can do a Miro ATC swap?

This has turned out beautifully; love the added ATCs.

Happy to swap Marloes!
