Krakow, 16”x16”, mixed media on board
Am I stuck in the 1970s? I do not think so. But anyone who visits my home notices that I like orange. From the pillows on the sofa, to the bathroom rug, to the kitchen floor. My kitchen is orange and blue. It is a color combination I really like. When I spotted images of folk costumes from Krakow with orange beads and embroidery on a deep blue background, I knew this would be another piece for the Post-Folk Art series.
The color combination gave the piece a very vintage feel going back to the 1930s or 40s — an unintended surprise. A friend noticed, among my collection of vintage packaging, that this old container of Casco Glue Powder had the same colors. I have to agree.
