When Terry posted flamenco dancers on the Twelve by Twelve blog and remarked on how difficult “passion” is to simplify, I knew exactly what she was talking about. I had also been inspired by dancers and these sketches show my attempts to simplify a tango motif:
It’s also been a challenge to work with a saturated palette of analogous hues. All those reds and oranges merge together. For any kind of pattern to emerge, they need a foil. Throw in a little orange-yellow and things start to go a little wild. A touch of black is required to tame it down. Or something. The auditions contiinue.

Brenda,
I’ll leave “Passion” to you, I cant imagine how to portray the subject, however I look forward to you and Twelve by Twelve showing me some ideas.

The colours remind me of your Lasgane quilt, which by the way is on the Craft Fair website http://www.craftfair.com.au/Canberra2009/app/pages/view/2009_canberra_quilters_inc/
