May tapestry....


The 'May' tapestry originates from this small oil painting I did some time ago. Of course, the calendar series tapestries are all square (18x18"), so the image is cropped to fit that size. In addition, I have added some of the cows from the multitude of cow images I have photographed over the years. They will be in the foreground. I am very excited to be weaving cows! Don't know why... I just am.

This is the 6th calendar tapestry. When it is complete, I will be halfway through the 'year' - although it will have taken me much longer than a year to create them! I began this series in 2008, with the "February" tapestry. Sometimes, a year is not a year.....
