Open Studio Tour: Living Room

 


 As you enter the front door, there are 3 tapestries in the entry way; the May tapestry from the Calendar Series, the ‘Tapestry Arch’ tapestry, and ‘Hope and Despair.’


Above the sofa are 3 more tapestries (I know! They just keep coming!) The large tapestry is the Summer tapestry from the Four Seasons series. It is ‘Tending Peace’ and includes a number of symbols for peace. The Calendar Series piece to the left is the April piece from that series. Below it is a small tapestry called ‘When She Could Fly.’


Over the living room fireplace and in the nearby corner are tapestries of our pets. ‘Yin/Yang’ is of our 2 cats, the August tapestry is of our dog Booker in the lake, and ‘Wooster’ is in the corner space.


In a somewhat poorly lit corner to the right of the fireplace hangs ‘Barbershop Buzz,’ a Heritage Series tapestry of my Grandfather’s barbershop, which was flattened in 1966 by a tornado.


On the other side of the front window, so also not lit well for photos, is ‘Lust for Life,’ one of several tapestries the were inspired by Van Gogh.
