hooking houses by the canal

Here is another little mat exploring geometric shapes in landscape. This one comes from my love of the rows of Amsterdam houses. I like the way the water echoes the shape of the houses and has a sense of movement. Next time I’ll try to work in shadows and reflections–I’m thinking about the connection between hooking and sketching. In the meantime, this was a joyful piece to work on in the rainy days of the last weeks.
