For me, there's nothing more interesting than comparing what two talented stitchers do with the identical canvas. Unless they are both working a set!
Here's Kelly Clark's entire painted but unstitched Nativity set. There are 17 pieces in all on two pages.

Here is what Amy Bunger is doing with the set. Click on any photo and then use the arrows to navigate. http://www.amybunger.com/nativity_set_home_study.html
Here is what Chaparral is doing with the set. I am sorry, but I don't know who did the stitching for their series. They have a lot of talented people working at the shop.

Very interesting! Some things are similar and some are different but they all are wonderful. I had a lot of fun studying the photos to pick out what each stitcher did differently and what they did the same, and figuring out what I liked and what I didn't. There really is no one "right" way to stitch a painted canvas. You do the best you can with your talent and the threads and stitches available to you.
But seeing masters at work is very educational!

Jane, I marvel at what is done with painted canvas. I have acquired two geometric canvases.....small and am looking forward to working them into my schedule this year.

You will have fun with them, Jan. Geometrics are fun and pretty and easy to change colors on to suit yourself.
