From my 2nd floor window I have a view of a great park with grass lawns, perfect for a picnic as depicted here.

As I glanced out the window I noticed this scene, took a photo and made a sketch.

The boy with a 4 on his T-shirt was a nice focal point, hence the title.

This is also the 4th art quilt with picnic as it's subject in my career.

Shown here is the sketch with a grid overlay: to enlarge the image.

 

  • The base consists of gauze with batting on it.
  • Top gauze layer is the enlarged design using the grid (fig.: 1)
    the image is drawn using pencil and colored marker.
  • While top layer is lifted, fabrics are put in place.



With gauze partly lifted I can work on details to refine the design,
the shell pictured here.
Usually this involves hand-stitching and acrylic paint.
Now think about comparing the size of the original sketch to the actual size of the work. (H 48 " x W 96 ")

 



Refining the work by adjusting fabric to create the spiky points of the shell.
