The artwork is now completed, framed and hanging in my Mum’s dining room. The sky was a bit trickier to do than the mountains; I had to scrap a couple of completed sections because the balance just wasn’t right and the fabrics I picked were too dark or too light, or too shiny and reflective. At this point I know better than to go, oh no that’s not too bad, it will do. Gut instinct is always right and must be obeyed!

I’m still a tiny bit irked that the original artwork I based it on turned out to be AI-generated, but I’m very happy with the final result. It was also wonderful to have a creative project to sink my teeth into and I’m already thinking of what I could do next.
