we have quite a few of these large hand made old wrought iron nails in the beams of our house ...they really are beautiful objects ..the three loose nails which i've made sketches and studies are probably from 16th century .

RispondiEliminaAn artist can make rusty nails something truly beautiful - this is what you've done! I so admire your watercolor studies from life and how your work never disappoints. Lovely, as always! And the Italian words are just as beautiful :)
RispondiEliminaWhat wonderful insight to pick this subject and make it so beautiful.
RispondiEliminaEinfach genial die zwei Versionen. Auch das Motiv ist klasse. Mag ich sehr.
RispondiEliminaGrüsse Dich

RispondiEliminaLove how you manage to capture the essence of subject through colours and overcrowding it with details.

RispondiEliminaUnderneath it all I am a Shipwright ... When I was in Kuwait I went on-board the largest wooden ship ever built. Al-Hashemi-II.
RispondiEliminaThe Master Shipwright didn't speak English and I didn't speak Arabic, but we communicated really well. On leaving he gave me a nail such as those you have so beautifully painted.
As your painting suggests, a nail is a lot more than .... a nail.
Love your stuff, signed up as a follower, hope you don't mind.
Very beautiful, as usual, Jane. How I'd love to watch you weaving your magic out of the water.
