The last vestiges of winter snow are still visible on the south facing rough terrain.  However, hope lies just beyond in the sun filled valley around this mountain.  Much like life, hope is always a feature that is essential in life if one is to press on.  The painting is multi layered and I have manipulated the qualities of hand dyed cotton scrim to appear in parts. I have also embellished this one of a kind painting with textile paint, though this has been achieved in an extremely subtle manner.  This painting took four days to lay out and two weeks to embroider for a truly unique piece of art that lovers of the countryside will appreciate.  This painting will be included in an upcoming art exhibition if it does not sell in the meanwhile.  There is subsidised postage available on this painting.

The finished felt painting has been mounted on black, sealed canvas with D-rings and wire for ease of hanging.  This painting is slated for an art exhibition later this year, if it does not sell in the meantime via this website.
