"Straight Stitch"

6"x6"
Oil on Mat board
SOLD

I discovered a site recently that had pictures of various old sewing machines. I thought the detail on this one was gorgeous. This piece was actually fairly difficult to paint. The trouble was trying to clearly show the raised patterns in the silver, while still maintaining the strong reflections and shadows. After much trial and error, I think the final product turned out well.

I will be in Florida the rest of this week, but will have many new pieces to post next week!
