home abstracted

Another home portrait is complete. As expected it is completely different from the others. This home is very full of clean lines and angles. Photographs of the inside directed my choice for the layout of ephemera on the canvas. As you can see I have narrowed down the overwhelming selection quite a bit. Sorry, but the sequins did not make the cut. Gold lycra and the first place ribbon did though...
lots of stippling along with paint
the triple stipple stitch was fun
sound of music got long stitches for the shadow
tiki man by the front door had to be in here

I love how you've incorporated the blue ribbon. I think I would be completely stymied by the random piles of materials you are given to work with, but you have an amazing eye to making it all work. Love all your home portraits!

The music must be a personal note
(no pun intended)
