Vases-refernces for fabric drawings....

While walking through the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, I took these pictures of vases using my iphone. My intention is to draw the shapes, add flowers and maybe a bird or three and get it printed in spoon flower to go with a quilt. I also bought a beaooootiful set of Sennelier oil pastels to play with. 

We spent five hours at the museum. On Fridays, it is open late and we stayed until eight o'clock. there was a trio playing in the American Wing cafe whose notes drifted out and surrounded us while we were roaming through the marble statues. We sat a while and listened.

my favorite



The amazing marble and bronze statues were even more dramatic, lit by spotlights, in the dark hall.
