Canvas stitch embroidery inspired by Georgia O’Keefe

This canvas work is based on a Georgia O’Keefe painting. I was drawn to the autumnal colours and loved the texture that this technique allowed.

I worked this after doing a silk shading and fully embraced exploring the colours and textures, using 10+ threads in the needle at one time to give the shading and blending wools and silks together.
