5x7" threadpainting, based on a photo I took last summer in Saskatchewan. : ) Blogged at http://www.mysweetprairie.blogspot.com
Beautiful! I love the colors and texture.
TERRIFIC use of threads to suggest oat fields. The layering is just terrific. I especially like the few heads of oats that bend to the side or are silhouetted against the sky, which adds to the realism of the piece. What a little gem of intense work in such a small space!
Thank you so much!! It's going into a show this week. I'm super excited. ; )

I really like the angle you've chose to give this piece great visual interest and the appeal of lovely texture. Nice!
The FUNNY part is...
I thought it was wheat until a farm friend referred to it as oats. I felt foolish, and renamed it "The Oat Field". I have sold this piece, and later thought I really must research my crops. Turns out... IT'S BARLEY! Hilarious.
To my defence, I own a video by a thread painter from the UK, and she kept calling the green barley "young corn". It wasn't at all. Young corn looks just like blades of grass.
pretty funny stories.
:P
