ANCIENT YEW TREE

 
Just back from a trip to the Loire valley where I found this beautiful yew tree in the ruins of an old priory, Les Nobis, at Montreuil-Bellay.  Sketched in inktense pencils.

 
I thought you might like to see the embroidery inspired by the sketch. It was lovely to be able to go back to the tree as I worked to check on details.
