Happy 50th!
 (Cosmic Illusion #13)

   

Salli McQuaid: Happy 50th, 24"w x19"h, 2007, Front and Reverse.
 

Happy 50th! was created to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Helen and Dick Wirtensen. Fabric musical imagery alludes to Helen's singing talent and golfing imagery alludes to Dick's interest in golfing. Various dates and names are repeated as shading/embellishment to heighten the personal intonations of the artwork. The landscape layout reminds me of Pleasanton, CA, as you look westward toward the hills. Fabrics were chosen to represent winter, spring, summer and fall, symbolic of the phases of our lives.

If you would like to commission a similar quilt for someone special, check out Salli McQuaid artistwriter@oplink.net. We'll come up with something great -- and on your budget. On the reverse will be a special label, commemorating the occasion, the people honored, and the person(s) from whom it was received.
