Handpainted Needlepoint Canvas

This painting was created while the author lived in Madrid - Spain - a lively and dynamic city with a bright sun and colors. The colors are much more muted than in the photo above. Below is a blowup of a section of the 12 count canvas - any subtle pastel color combinations will work nicely.

The Fine Line Needlepoint Collection is designed for advanced needlepoint artists. The large flat spaces may be interpreted with dimensional stitches and mixing different fibers. The stylized figure is sitting in a corner immersed in thought. A plant is to the right of the figure and a grilled door behind. The triangulation of this composition respects classical art rules in their strictest sense. Thinking 2 Needlepoint would make a nice pillow or cushion. This contemporary needlepoint design would also be lovely in a frame - try a shadow box - with a warm gray tinted background. Perfect for minimalist and modern decors.

If finished into a needlepoint pillow - consider using a raw silk backing - picking up any of the colors of the painting. Thinking and Thinking 2 are now available as needlepoint canvases.
