A Special Teacher

This was a very special tapestry I designed for a private school, the Potomac School...... a huge project ...26 x 36" on 18st....It took me nine days to paint, and the detail was very intense... ......the tapestry tells a story of a wonderful teacher , and her long career at the school...she was retiring .... this was a gift to honor her....the boarder shows all the elements of school life.......my favorite part is the graduation scene under the big tree, a school landmark .....it was a challenge to get the feel of the scene given a small space ...tricking the eye yet again...
