| Old Car Parts in the Garden, ink & watercolor, 8x11" |
I inherited a bunch of rusty old car parts when I converted the garage (formerly used by my son to restore a 1970 Firebird "muscle" car) into my studio. I thought they were interesting looking "sculptures" and stuck them in my garden, planning to draw them.
It took me a year to get around to it but I finally spent a fun morning sketching them amidst sprouting irises. When I finished, I gave most of them to the my gardener who also collects scrap metal for recycling. I kept the two most interesting pieces as possible still life subjects in the future.
i like the way you used the "frames" in this drawing--the leaves sprouting out of them and sometimes growing into another section. that gives the whole piece life.
