Iron and Wool
12x12, soft pastel
This is a second still life painting of the old cast iron kettle and wool rug I recently purchased. I just love all the textures and placed them on a wooden table in my living room against a textured wall. I'm enjoying this little series. It reminds me of the resilience of items from the past. These things weren't "throw away" household items but stood up to all kinds of use and abuse over the years. Resilient and strong...reminding me of the pioneering spirit of days gone by.
