I don&#8217;t remember doing this, but it involved a painting with sumi ink on white paper. Then cutting out squares and pasting them in the grid format. I am attached to squares in the fabric world too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7717-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7717-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7717-1-300x269.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">10 Mar 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saatchiart.com\/mboston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marsha Boston<\/a> is a watercolorist whose work I like.

Fun. It is also an example of rule based composition. The rule here was that each square had to contain a Circle and a Line. (One contains two lines, but maybe it&#8217;s just one thick line.) Now that I look at this, it&#8217;s an approach that could be applied to quilting or embroidery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sketched a lot of rocks.
