On Friday night, I got an idea — one of those ideas that's like a gnat that won't stop buzzing in your ear. Buzz buzz buzz! I just *had* to drop everything and chase that idea! I started cutting up fabric and piecing it back together in strips and blocks of all kinds.
Saturday morning I got out of bed and asked myself, "Should I do the work that I ought to do or should I continue last night's experiments?" Well, as you can guess, that was a short conversation with myself. Of course, I wanted to continue cutting and sewing and chasing that darn idea.
I was so pleased with my progress that I snapped a photo of the bits and bobs up on my design wall in my studio before I left the house.
And then I walked into the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) and stumbled into a room of paintings by Helga Roht Poznanski that made me do a double take.
(These watercolor pieces were behind glass, so there are some weird reflections in these photos.)
Magical artistic serendipity, right? These watercolor paintings are so much of what was buzzing around in my brain. I feel like I was meant to see this exhibit on this day! I literally could not stop smiling as I walked through this particular gallery.
Have you ever had a moment of magical artistic serendipity? It's so exhilarating!
Thanks for stopping by!
Incredible. I can’t decide whether to drive to the ICA or start an improv quilt. I think I’ll do both. Because I’m RETIRED!

Julie, I have been enjoying your posts SO MUCH for so long!! I am embarrassed to say I just today figured out how to comment. I cannot thank you enough for showing us your visits to museums — so many wonderful art pieces that I would never get to see otherwise. And keeping up with your house re-do has been a lot of fun and very interesting. And omgoodness, your artwork. It is a joy to see what you are doing and the variety of arts and crafts that you take up and that which you teach. Your blog is such a joy to me. I was really amazed at the serendipity of your artwork and art viewing experience today. How wonderful. Life is full of delightful surprises and your sharing them makes my life richer. I really like what you are doing and the art you displayed from ICA. I have progressed from loving only photo realistic art to being entranced with modern art (perhaps because I can’t do realistic art LOL). Again, THANK YOU so much for sharing so much beauty and information. And wishes all good wishes with the new life you are carrying.

Very graphic in design. Solid rich colors. As a scientist I am always curious what draws us to this somewhat chaotic bold pattern. Perhaps the desire to always see something new everytime we look? A desire to relieve boredom? A chance to place energy on our wall? Maybe to add surprise to our predictable lives. Or because it is so fun to make? So interesting. Thanks for sharing.
