San Sebastian - Handpainted Needlepoint Canvas - is a reproduction of the author*s
oil painting of a typical port scene in any of the small fishing towns
in and around San Sebastian, Spain. Many have small family owned restaurants
where they serve the very fresh catch of the moment on long tables shared
by different people. A social treat as well as a delicious culinary experience.
The Fisherman and his family usually live on top of their restaurants
in these small ports - also adding to the experience of being in an authentic
family style restaurant.
Long isolated
from the rest of Europe- Spain has always attracted a large following
of devoted students - including ourselves - fascinated by a large country
that seemed frozen in time. This historic land never ends to surprise
us with its diversity of landscapes - cultures - languages and dialects.
Spanish culture
has spread its influence far across the Pyrenees of the north and over
the seas past America to Asia. Spanish art and music have a strong following
- travelers have long marveled at the mixture of eastern and western cultures
that melted into the Spanish environment.
This Boats Painting
is now available on 12 or 18 mesh Zweigart Interlock or Mono Deluxe. We
have an entire series of paintings ( adapted for needlework ) - based on this theme - which we will
be adding as they are finished.
Again - the
large flat sections of color are very attractive when stitched by mixing
different shades - fibers and types of stitches. A true challenge for
a very advanced needlepoint artist. The finished handpainted canvases will probably be most successful framed with a mat - although a pillow
finishing would be smashing.
San
Sebastian Canvas - using dimensional stitches - this hand painted
canvas was worked by our Favorite Friend in NYC. She spent eight months
stitching the Boats Design and - created Her Masterpiece - seen above. The mixture
of fibers on an 18 count canvas - along with her choice of colors and
stitches is absolutely brilliant - note how the ropes have been pulled
out into three dimensions.
