Solstice Tapestry

Solstice Tapestry

Solstice Tapestry: Landscape Series. This 19 X 20 Tapestry is a continuation of my exploration into raw edge technique and composition. This time, I have stepped up the color and added depth. I have used my favorite style of work, which is Surrealism. Realistic representation combined with elements of the abstract. It is similar to something you might see in a dream. I want to continue the exploration of this style, to see where I can take it. I work like a painter; picking up fabric pieces instead of paint. I did not use the improvisational method of composition here. I worked from sketches to position my main elements. There are merits to both of these methods.

    Hello Judy,
    Beautiful and serene vista. Your style is unique.
    Consideration of formal elements makes our work timeless and exploration of techniques makes it suprising!
    Thank you so much for sharing.

    HI I have just visited your blog for the first time but it certainly won't be the last!! Your work is SO nice and refreshing. I just adore the raw edge landscapes. Feel free to pop by my humble blog and see what I've been up to with fabric, English paper piecing and my camera.
    My kindest regards
