I posted a shot a month ago ( http://365project.org/fishers/365/2020-04-14 ) of a marquetry picture created by my dad, and I thought it time I posted another. Once again it was made from a kit which included the design, base board and wood veneers.
This view is one that I am familiar with in real life. It is Cornforth Hill, in Richmond, North Yorkshire. It is a very steep hill that drops down from near the castle, through an arch in the town walls to Bridge Street and the River Swale. I particularly like the figure of the photographer in the bottom right of the picture.
These marquetry pictures are attractive in their own right, but for me they are also a link with my dad, who we lost over 20 years ago.
Oh how nice, another marquetry. just beautiful. now I would like both of them on display. so lovely for you to have these in memory of your talented dad. fav.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated!
It's a pity I can't have a trip to Richmond to show you what this view looks like in reality.
Carol, I'm impressed that you tackled marquetry with your dad as a child - I would never have had the patience!

Thank you Pat. We have quite a collection of these from my dad - more than we can display at once, so the collection gets frequently rotated.
