Coyote Moon

'Coyote Moon' Hand Embroidery on Painted Cotton. 18.5inches x 16inches. 47cm x 40cm.

I've been working on this one for quite awhile. It's inspired from my last trip to Vancouver in September 2008. Some of my friends and I went to VanDusen Gardens and while we were there spotted a coyote standing just like this one at the end of our path. With a blink of an eye it melted into the trees. I loved getting to know the picture postcard beauty of the landscape around Vancouver. I love the trees and mountains there and had been wanting to do an embroidery depicting them. I think this is one of my first Canadian inspired pieces. I love being in Australia but I do often get homesick for Vancouver.
