Guess the Pattern

Part of my Stampede collection and a continuation of a study of agriculture patterning can you guess what this one is inspired from?

Just an FYI about creating watercolour images from my perspective… It has literally been years since I cleaned of my paint tray. I add more primary paint as needed and a bit of burnt umber too. On my small little pallette I literally have hundreds of colors set up from continual mixing. AND when I am finished for the day I just let my tray dry and I have all of those colours to work with again because they simply activate with a touch of water.

The Pattern

I have been lucky enough to connect with some interesting things that have been very artistically inspiring in life over the past couple of years. I think they are bringing me full circle, so to speak. Just last month I presented with Amy Dryer at The Women’s Resource Center in the University of Calgary. Our work was a study of patterning both conscious and subliminal and how and why it affects us. It was called Tattooed Ladies and will continue its run till April 8. The experience of creating the presentation around this topic sent me on an eye opening journey that I was not expecting and now has burst open a bubble that needed to break. This image is my official start of my work for Stampede 2014. Can you guess the name of this collection?
