The eye reads it as a landscape...and the stitch supports it, small and narrow at the back, wider and larger at the front, to give a dimensional effect, and some random stitching in the 'sky'. I had intended to add some applique, to suggest a standing stone, but actually...it's fine as it is. I did try the applique, and that was fine, too, but different...and I prefer this version, so here it is.
And you may remember, I cut a piece of cloth in half, here, and created a landscape with it. I struggled with the second half of the cloth...and in the end, added an orange circle, to give it a focal point....and struggled some more. In the end, I took some blue thread, and stitched it randomly...
It's a landscape too, I think: a very different type of landscape, much more abstract, no apparent horizon line...but nonetheless... The dark marks are closer to a dark turquoise than you see them here, but this was the best I could manage, so... I'm still not sure about it, but the stitch has improved it, somewhat. In this, the actions I've taken are simple, the piece itself, less so. But I rather like it, nevertheless. Who says simple has to be the same every time?
