next stop, holland. utrecht to be precise. my father works out there, and is lucky enough to have a beautiful apartment in the centre of Maarssen, a small town located close to the city of Utrecht. i took a short trip out to visit him and used the opportunity to take some photos of the architecture out there. the styles out there are so different to buildings back here in england.. especially evident in the traditional.
a view from the river - even between just these 5 houses, each one is different from the next. what i love is that there is so much detail, so much care and attention has been taken to make every one individual and very beautiful. i hope to try and create this in my fabrics as well. if i were to pump up the colours in this photo - make the brick red redder and the blue sky deeper blue, it would be just perfect to show the colours our group has settled on - a deep red, a deep blue and a selection of neutrals.
im going to create some mixed media art work from these images and others i took on my trip - playing around with texture, scale and colour to try and get the most out of the pictures. there are already obvious shapes in here that i could try and create within my weaves.. but im going to play around with them a bit first to see what i can get.
all in all, a very successful trip.
