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.

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.....

I have been following your posts about the various months, and admiring them greatly, but am not sure what you plan to do with them. Will you have an actual calendar published?
Mary, I hope to exhibit them all together somewhere, perhaps also with the Seasons tapestries. And I will also probably have a calendar made of the images.
