Almost Three Years in the Making...

It's finally, finally done:  Rosewood Manor's A Tree by Itself, started on April 4, 2013, and finished yesterday.  This finish deserves its own post, so here it is:

And the close-ups:

So many zany birds, rabbits and the occasional deer.

The verse in the big photo is a little hard to read:

Hold on to what is good,

even if it is a handful of earth.

And hold on to what you believe,

even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Verses are usually what sell me on a sampler.

What slowed me down were all the color changes;

there were 31 shades of green alone!

I'll have to find a monochromatic piece

to start on next...

That's it for today.

Thanks, as always, for visiting!
