The Reader, another interpretation in red.

The Reader, another interpretation in red.

I found another painting of a woman reading that I wanted to interpret in embroidery. It is The Reader by Alexandre Chartier. The pair are now framed and hanging over my bookshelves. Stem, backstitch, and running.

I can't get these two reading ladies out of my head. I am going to try something like this soon. They are really so fabulous.
