Study for Sheldon's Church
I've been working on a series of computer manipulate photos that I am printing on fabric. Sheldon's Church is one of these images. I decided to print a small image (13" X 17") that had a slightly different design to see how I wanted to quilt the finished piece.
Ghost of Sheldon's Church
This is the original idea but after I did the study, I felt that I liked it better. Ghost seemed to be a bit to symmetrical. In the mean time I decided to enter Study for Sheldon's Church in the ITAB International TECHstyle Art Exhibit. I received a thank you but no thank you reply to that exhibit. Ususally, I don't question my pieces even when they have been rejected from an exhibit but I have had questions about this whole thing from the beginning.
I took both the pieces to my Focus meeting and as I was showing them I just placed the small one over the larger piece. I was about to take it down when I stepped in front of the design wall to look at the two together and it flashed through my mind that "this doesn't look too bad". I was also beginning to get vibes from many of the group that there was happening between the two pieces.
Am I just looking for a way to salvage these pieces or should I just chalk it up to experience?
Any comments would be appreciated.
