Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is another one of the #AnimalVignettes for the #VistionOfPlacidus. I'm feeling my way towards a painterly but textural approach to stitchery, trying to keep the stitching free, slightly ruffled. I'm rather pleased with this old #Brockis, with his intent look. He will lurk in the undergrowth in a very satisfactory manner!
In the spirit of celebrating milestones, a stitched #Brockis, the next animal in my vignettes for the #VisionOfPlacidus, inspired by Elizabeth Goudge's book The Herb Of Grace, and her inspiration in turn, Pisanello's Vision Of St Eustace.
A companion for the Hawk In A Clear Blue Sky.

I am quite unreasonably proud of myself for this, sketched freehand to guide my needle.
A few years ago I would have painfully traced this. I haven't yet got used to my increasing facility with a pen.
