English Landscape Tapestry Kit

Tuscan Landscape Tapestry Kit

"These two landscapes were conceived and worked as a complementary pair. The idea was to represent two completely different types of atmosphere: a lush English countryside, and the rich, sun-drenched tones of autumnal Tuscany. My own mind's eye view of England is pastoral and sees a stream flowing through a meadow against a background of trees and rolling hills. It stems from memories of childhood and long hot summer days in Somerset when, in my mind at least, the sun always seemed to be shining and the sky was incredibly blue. By contrast with the greenness of rural England I wanted the Tuscan landscape to have more vibrant golds and earth tones, with cypress trees, fields of sunflowers and rows of vines."
