I am a thread painter. "Reflection" - one of the definitions is: deep thought. I photographed this particular gorilla at the St. Louis zoo while visiting my youngest daughter and then thread painted it. I was the only human in the gorilla exhibit that morning and I truly wondered what this sweet animal was thinking.
Welcome, welcome to our group, Teresa! Your thread painting is awesome. You can see the intelligence reflected in this gorilla's eyes! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo enjoying seeing your growth as an artist! Your depiction of animals' faces is the best!
ReplyDeleteThe gorillas face is amazing. What a wonderful way to express reflection.
ReplyDeleteWow!! Your work is stunning! I never would have thought a gorilla could look sweet, but this one is and you've certainly shown that with this piece.
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought much about gorillas being reflective. However this one does appear that way. Fabulous work!
