Summer in the Sutter Buttes — Original Framed Textile Fiber Art Wall Hanging by Claudia Buchanan
Summer Heat, Rocky Hills & a Barn That Has Seen It All
In summer, the Sutter Buttes turn golden and dry, the rocky hillsides shimmer in the heat, and the lone palm tree on the ridge stands like a landmark against a wide, blazing sky. This large-scale, one-of-a-kind original textile fiber art wall hanging by Claudia Buchanan captures that quintessential Northern California summer scene — a beautiful barn anchored in the valley below, a solitary palm rising from the rocky hillside above, and a hand-painted sky that radiates the full warmth of the season.
At 26” x 32”, this is a commanding presence on any wall. Built layer by layer using hand-dyed and commercial fabrics in raw edge appliqué, the composition is enriched with mixed media throughout — inks, pastels, silk, and wool roving — all brought together with heavy thread painting that adds extraordinary depth, movement, and detail to every inch of the piece.
Stand close and the work reveals itself fully: the texture of the rocky hillside, the warmth of the painted sky, the intricate stitching that gives this piece a life no photograph can capture. This is art that must be experienced in person.
