Back in the Day...Needlepoint Designs

I used to paint needlepoint canvas skrimm, designing mostly for huge projects in churches and cathederals, temples of worship all over the United States, some to Europe, the Carribian, South America. The designs were then covered in tapestry stitching, blending threads of fiber to achieve the colors in the canvas. I'm just starting to upload theses designs on my web site. Check them out if you are a needlepointer. jb

Absolutely lovely - but DO NOT - I repeat - DO NOT give up on oil painting - unless of course you just hate it. I think it is just so different for you that you can't see it with objective eyes. Your work is fresh and has great colors - no mud - just keep going!
