"Falling Leaves" tapestry, (c) 1995, 9"w x 11"h.  This represents a detail in my 1995 lithograph print "Eve/Self Portrait"" "Rock" tapestry, (c) 2016, 21"w x 16"h.  This is somewhat autobiographical, as the rock is heavy thus cracking the ground beneath it, and is threatening as seen by the red sky backdrop.
