If so, you must go to the Matisse museum in Nice. Wondrous place (near Roman ruins too, and the Chagal museum too) which has changing exhibitions of M's work often with lots of those astonishing drawings. (Watch out for the dog shit on the pavements of Nice, however.)<BR/><BR/>Interesting questions to mull. I've posted my immediate thoughts on my blog.Olga Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10554469124546960971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1137161545741464662006-01-14T01:12:00.000+11:002006-01-14T01:12:00.000+11:00I LOVE the quilting on the turtle, Dijanne.

That is just fabulous!<BR/><BR/>Things that have influenced me in fabric art, in particular - two of them would be the same as yours...learning to do free-motion quiting and the "discovery" of fusible web. I'm not a big fan of fabric dyeing, although I'll do it now and then, but I like to add drawing (with colored pencils) and/or painting to quilts sometimes, so I'd include those on my list too.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure a could name any one artist who has been a major influence, but I'm very drawn to work that is about color and line.Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1137159494758082102006-01-14T00:38:00.000+11:002006-01-14T00:38:00.000+11:00I'm delighted to see a return of the turtles!

There is a something in the ease of your quilting that suggests you are too!<BR/><BR/>The questions are good ones to ponder over - but I've a sneeky feeling the lovely Marion B. will find her way into the answer!Linda B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05490436237080230938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1137157490257953952006-01-14T00:04:00.000+11:002006-01-14T00:04:00.000+11:00Oh Dijanne....you shouldn't try to make me think s...Oh Dijanne....you shouldn't try to make me think so early in the morning! I am still on my second cup of coffee! I will have to wait and think on this later today. However, I don't need to think about the turtle. I love them too and this one is delicious!! Your colors just sing.<BR/><BR/>teriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1137148988025694552006-01-13T21:43:00.000+11:002006-01-13T21:43:00.000+11:00How well you pinpointed all your reasons.

I find your work very appealing and have put a link to your blog on mine (still a baby blog awaiting formal joining of the Artful Quilters web).
