Arlington 2017, deep in greens

It's time to finish the bugler, go deep into greens, and finish the final 1/3 of the tapestry that has been my winter companion.

Arlington 2017, 10 epi


As always, values are key. The client wanted 3 specific elements; the caisson, the bugler and the Capitol. I combined them in my design and to pull off a sense of space. I want to make sure the values of that soldier help him blend in and recede.

Beyond that, I'll just be blending greens for the park as I head to the Capitol.

Next blog on this topic will be The Cut Off, I'm just not saying when the date will be...but soon.

    Wow, Ruth! This piece is so impressive. But then again I remember all the intricate tapestries you did in Rochester. They were always awe inspiring.
