The idea behind this challenge was to change the structure of a pattern - in my case I chose to take Meringue, a free-form pattern and change it into a grid-based pattern.
I decided to use the ideas of Mondrian and use a grid-based design similar to what Mondrian may have used and fit the freeform pattern Meringue into it, using some close-up sections and some farther away.I also decided to use the three primary colors that he often used in his designs. In retrospect, my design needs more white spaces.
I also veered off of the graphic flat Mondrian-type design to add shading to give the shapes a more 3 dimensional effect.
This challenge is done on a 6" x 6" piece of white drawing paper using Micron pens and Prismacolor colored pencils.

This is fantastic, a 'wowser'!!!!!
Love your Tile, Barbara. Your design reminds me of a 'California Job Case' used by typesetters of hand set type. Beautiful colors. Wonderful variations of Meringue. Fab.
Really like the Mondrian feel to your work this week. Also Bobbi's Winter Barn is gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous! Very creative and artistic!
