Retro

This week's topic at Illustration Friday is RETRO so I took my gouache and started painting. 
Took some motifs from the 50's and twisted them up with my own interpretation.  Love yellow ochre as the background - I would totally wear a skirt with this pattern.

    Wow, love it! It reminds me of some curtains we sold in our curtain shop some years ago. Yellow ochre and black is a striking combo.

    Love the combination of the warm ochre (beautiful colour btw!) and the black and white. Very nice pattern you created!

    I absolutely agree. This beautiful painting would make a wonderful fabric material.

    Michele this is fab, or groovey or is the right word hip? LOL what ever I love this. You did such a great job. I too would like this in fabric. I would make a long summer dress out of it.
    Have a great weekend

    Love the color (ochre is a fav of mine) and I am mid century modern - so I really relate to the print!
