Liminality ! finished in oils

The acrylic sketch onto canvas was finally completed this week. I overpainted in oils to get the depth of colour and texture I was after.

The woven piece was cut off the loom last night. The darkest blue wool I had in stock  was not right in the end,  so it got cut off ! A smaller rug, but one that I love emerged. How strange that studies in paint and wool should make me feel so differently.I need to try a piece in machine stitch next to explore the dimension of movement.
