Since tomorrow marks the end of summer vacation for school age kids in Durham, I thought I'd post one of my summer projects. This portrait is 2x2' and I really wanted to concentrate on the values of color (meaning dark, med, light). I worked from a photograph, and made a 12x12" fabric piece first, then liked it so much I enlarged the pattern, and worked with stained glass on wood panel. It is one of those mosaics that really looks fantastic from 15 ft away, but I do like to study the tesserae (pieces) and andamento (flow) up close to see what I could improve upon for the next work. Anyone recognize the subject? xo
