That looks like a lovely stained glass window.

That is a beautiful quilt or window?

You should really take a Color Theory class, from MassArt or elsewhere. I'm sure there are online options, too. Trust me, you'd get a lot out of it, especially now that you're starting to really experiment in color.

Thank you! That was precisely the idea: our house has an air conditioner installed in the dining room between the two window, and based on other two-family houses in the neighborhood I know there used to be a window there. This is a plausible replica of what the original window might have looked like -- well, the leadwork, at least; the coloring is my own design, and of course its quilt nature is to insulate the air conditioner for winter.

I'd love to take some classes at MassArt, but probably not in the next couple of years. Is there a textbook you could recommend? Or an online course?

I /really/ like this one.

RISD's CE program doesn't offer any of their three Color Theory classes online. And I didn't learn from a textbook. So offhand, I don't know. I'm sure there are online Color Theory classes, you'd just have to Google them. I'm sure there are decent books, for that matter. Google can help with those, too.

My daughter Rose got took color theory classes at FIT in NYC. If you want book ideas, message me on fb and I'll add her to the message so she sees it.

Also, re the above explanation of the quilt: I love useful things that look like other things, so this is great!
