Help With Impressionist Landscape Quilt

[Kevin Calhoun]

A friend and I have talked an employee at the LQS into giving us a private
class in impressionist landscape quilts. Wonderful! I'm so exicted. The
employee giving us the class makes the most beautiful landscape quilts. I
am supposed to show up on Monday morning with a sketch of the quilt I
would like to make. Does anyone have any ideas about where I can dig up
some inspiration, pictures, or ideas. I'm afraid of coming up with
something too hard or not appropriate for a quilt.

Monet's Japanese Bridge is my favorite!

I found it! It's called "Le Bassin aux nymphéas, iris d'eau" and is the
last print on this page: http://www.intermonet.com/oeuvre/pontjapo.htm

My daughter the artist is always pulling pictures from calendars, magazines,
advertising pieces, etc. Failing that go to the library and check out the
art books. Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Manet, Bazille, Fantin-Latour,
Degas, Pissarro, Sisley, Morisot, Cailebotte, Delacroix, Gauguin and Seurat
come to mind in the impressionist category. Seems like I am forgetting
someone, but that list should get you started.

I have found that a lot of calendars have great landscape pictures. Several
businesses in our are give out calendars at Christmas, and they usually
include good/neat pictures of local landscapes.

If you find on of these. You can put a piece of thin paper over it, and
then trace the main parts of the landscape you want to use in your quilt.

Thank you so much! I have downloaded many of the pictures. I loved so
many of them. Now lets see if I can turn any of them into a quilt.

Wow, that's a great site! I just got the book, "Impressionist Palette - Quilt
Color & Design" by Gai Perry...and am dying to try something like this!
Finally something to do with all the floral prints I have accumulated over the
years!

I have two landscape books that I really like. One is "Landscapes &
Illusions" by Joen Wolfrom and the other is "Beyond the Horizon" by Valerie
Hearder. Both are wonderful and I've been collecting sky fabrics to use in
these.
I'll have to look for all these landscape books that you've mentioned.

MY DH got me the book "Quilted Landscapes" by Joan Blalock for Christmas. I
just fiished a landscape quilt for our quilt guild challenge. Actually, this
is the same quilt I am using for the RCTQ challenge. Need to get those
pictures to Deb soon.
