Superb work Skylar.

Andrew - Thanks So Much! Your response was probably the quickest I've seen!

What a wonderful subject and interior Skylar.

Carole - Thank you so very much!

A real cracker, Skylar, I can hear it tapping!

Lovely nostalgic painting, Skylar, love those warm colours.

Well done you Skylar, bet that typewriter was tricky

Superb! And what an excellent title. Just love what you've achieved here, hoping for more of the same.

Those were the days, when accuracy was everything! Gorgeous image!

Very atmospheric and impressive; perhaps an ode to authors (not just typewriters).

Thalia - Thank you! I learned to type on a mechanical similar to this one, And I wondered why I was never good at typing! Jenny - Thank you! I wanted to contrast against all that grey and black. Heather - Thank you! All those keys! Don't magnify this image too much - a lot of those brush strokes are not as accurate as they look... Sandra - Thank you! That title actually came to mind just as I was posting it. Linda - Thank you! We certainly had dexterity! Trevor - Thanks so much! This particular image was specific to the not-used-anymore machine. As an avid reader, I quite often make references to authors' works.

Romila - Thank you very much!

This fabulous Skylar the contrasting colours zing!

Thanks so much, Shaun!

Inspired by Paul Duffy's "Typewriter". An idealized setting for an author from a by-gone era. Appx. 24x16. Corel Painter, Wacom tablet. I finished this late last night.
