Tiny needle felted wool painting of Bruce Goff's Bavinger House. It's a wood and brown rock house with big chunks of turquoise blue colored glass. The house is kind of shaped like a spiral and has wires coming down from a center pole to the roof. There are green leafy trees and a blue sky in the background. It measures about 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches.
Same as the previous image with a US quarter for size reference.
