Well, I am really tardy in getting this one posted. In between art pieces I have to make time to do the little other things life requires. This time it was making a snake for a door and helping some friends solve a few interior design dilemmas, among a few other things. Finally, though, I got to posting the sketch for the larger piece of Las Tunas. That great stripe of greens, golds and reds (shown above the sketch) will be about half the background with filler streaks in the red wool Eileen Fisher (to the left), the linen/silk Raulph Lauren (shown just below the sketch) and the other gold silk and dark greens in ultra suede. The fabrics to the right are for the cacti and the “tunas.” According to my sketch there are 46 “tunas”–each hand-sewn and painted. The completed size with the border will be 51″ wide x 24″ tall. Needless to say, this one will take a while, but I’ll try to post updates of the work in progress. Hasta pronto.
