The Taos Open is next month so I’ve been hustling on my art piece. It’s similar in a way to The Portal. I’m trying to develop a motif and look for my art.
I’m really happy with how the sky turned out. I’m also putting vegetation in the rock area with my usual embroidery.
After Chezzie’s death I wasn’t sure if I should continue with this piece right now. I meditated on it for awhile and it feels right to keep going with it.
I studied pictures of the Gorge Bridge because I want my bridge to look realistic.
I had white felted I-cord left over from The Portal that I used for the bridge. The metal under the hand rail still needs to be put in.
The river is coming along and will have lots of embroidery on it.
You can see some plants here by the river and tucked into the rocks.
I’ve reached the panic stage because the deadline is next month. This is a good phase though because I actually get a lot of work done when I’m in it.
This piece is self reflective and deals with depression, sickness, grief, letting go, destruction, creation, renewal and faith. I’m not ready to write about it just yet but will as it develops.
