Rust portrayed brilliantly, Skylar. It has so mush more character rusty rather than 'spanking new blue'!!

Jennifer - Thank you. This is the 3rd time I have painted a version of this old thing.

lt's much more attractive rusted over Skylar. Love it!

Great rusty effect, touches of the original blue add character Skylar.

Terrific tones and textures places a simple subject on a pedestal.

Carole - Thanks so much! I'm glad I never replaced it, now.

Willie - Thank you! Yes, there is grace & beauty in utilitarian objects.

Brilliant Skylar.

Great but like the copper effect better

Brilliant Skylar, I have a similar lamp that I get great pleasure from painting.

Val - I am pleased you like this! Thanks!

Peter - Thanks! I suppose it all comes down to what one likes, after all.

Posted by Skylar Brown on Thu 13 Jul 13:48:11

Barry - Thanks so much! I think that is the reason I have hung onto this old thing, too. It is satisfying to paint "character".

Great painting Skylar, the rust is so well depicted!

Posted by Margaret Beynon on Thu 13 Jul 14:23:32

Margaret - Thank you! I expect the old thing to disintegrate any minute!
