Bottle Oven - Oil Pastel

Bottle Oven - Oil Pastel
Comments

It could be a scene in France - these structures, or at least some of them, really must be preserved; they have a beauty now which might not have been obvious when they were spewing smoke, and you have completely captured that, in a very difficult medium.

There's still a few of these old bottle kilns left standing in Stoke on Trent (the potteries) fortunately the days where thousands of them would be belching out sky blackening smoke are long gone. Painted on red primed board. 11.5" x 8.5"
