passage of time

 When Vincent Van Gogh was 32 he bought a stack of Japanese prints and studied them.

 

 He was influenced by the clear contour, the unshaded light, and the pure colour laid down with no attention to gradation of tone.

 "In studying Japanese art one finds out how the wise, the philosophic, the intelligent man spends his time."  Vincent

And still this project continues.  It must seem as if this is the only stitching that I am doing.  One skein of embroidery floss a day.

Now I am stitching the panels together into a long river of time.
