"And I also know how to embroider on a typewriter," boasted the famous cat Matroskin from the equally famous cartoon. The same words can be said about himself by a British artist. Peter Crawley, who seems to be drawing, but at the same time doing embroidery. And the thing is that Peter's paintings are embroidered with threads on thick watercolor paper. Imagine that a healthy man in the prime of his life spends his evenings at … the embroidery hoop, concentratingly poking a needle into a white sheet of paper, and stitch by stitch "draws" houses and portraits, animals and birds, words and letters …
For the first time, such an embroidered picture was published after the artist returned from a long trip to the United States. Then Peter Crowley was fascinated by the thin, neat lines that he met in cartography, and he wanted to express his impressions of this tour in the same thin lines. After a little thought, the author took up a needle and cotton thread, and a series of original paintings was born.
Each line, embroidered with multicolored threads, can be considered the mark that guides, tourists, explorers and travelers usually make their own routes on maps of the area. And the whole journey, not only in the USA, but in life in general, can be seen on the website of Peter Crawley.
