Joan Miro is one of my favorite artists. Maybe my absolute favorite. So, when it was my turn to choose a piece for the monthly studioQ challenge, of course I chose one of his paintings.
Miro (1893-1983) was a Catalan, from Barcelona, Spain. His work bridges abstract art and surrealism. The painting I chose was "Woman with 3 hairs, bird and constellations," (1973).

It was interesting to see what everyone did with this painting as inspiration. You can see that some took the painting fairly literally and some used it more as a jumping off point. Our pieces are spread out on the table below:
I made two pieces. I thought my first looked a bit cartoonish:
I liked my second one better:
Several fun pieces shown at Monday's meeting:
