Wow. Do I ever feel like I've accomplished things this week. I feel ahead of the game regarding deadlines (knock on wood!). I did not love the 'Fields of Gold' that I made for a commission, so I started up another simple autumn scene. The colors are much more subtle, based on a photo I took on the way to Beaver Creek.

It was the end of summer and there were Prairie Coneflowers growing by the roadside. I stayed up all night adding the hand stitching to it. I loved every stitch.
It looks quite stunning in the frame I have at home. That was the problem with the other one. I didn't love the color scheme. This one was an after-thought and I really love it. It makes me happy.

I matted all my other work and dropped it all off to be framed. (!!!) We picked some really pretty frames! I can't wait to see them all once they are back. Before I headed out, I was sure to take high res photos of each one. SO... since you told me this is not boring, here they all are
once again. : )

They're all beautiful and like the first commenter, I'm not sure I could choose.

Monica, your work is AMAZING! I feel like I am at an art gallery every time I visit your blog. I really like Fields at Floral Road 2. Looking at it makes want to jump over the fence, run across the field and climb on top of the hill on the far left. Simply beautiful!
Great work. My favourites are Fields at Floral Road 2 and Autumn Blonde. I would love to have your skill.
Stunning work!
Each time you post I stop and stare at the details of each picture. I think of it as a way of learning from you. Not boring in the least! Jackfish Lake and floral road are my favorites....could you tell me what the dimensions of these are? Have a fun shopping trip!
Thanks everone! They are all about 6x6, framed with wide white floating mats, and under glass as tradition fine embroidery.
