This small (3” by 2.5”) tapestry was woven for Rebecca Mezoff’s mini course on color.

I went on a walk in my local park which is kind of like a small forrest following a creek. What struck me the most on this walk was how much darker all the colors were below the trees and in the lower part of the trees. The dark shadows and the dark lower leaves, giving way to much lighter leaves on same trees higher up. Some of the leaves that were in light appeared white but just because of the light on them. And I could see the light blue sky between branches occasionally with occasional wisps of white clouds. This is what I tried to capture here.

My teen looked at this tapestry and thought the sky was a pond, and I said, that’s alright, it could be a pond as well.
