One from a series. In fact, if someone sees a similar image in any printed media please let me know, as I made a extended license sale of another shot from the same session through one of the stock photography sites to which I contribute, but there’s no way to know who bought it or for what media. The other image has a white background and it features a part of my gorgeous hairy chest. Cheers.
How hard could it be I thought to myself. Surely you just throw and catch stuff? Why bother with those little namby pamby beanbags? Well… I guess I know now. sobs None of my hats will fit anymore. sigh

Hand Painted then photoshopped
My neighbor let me photograph this old hook to paint. Neither of us know what its true purpose was or if people currently use these. We liked the old worn surfaces. I didn’t have much time to paint so I only did it in a 4” x 6” format. I originally put it on a grey concrete background but didn’t like the contrast so I did a red glaze over the top which gave the piece a slightly macabre vibe. It is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The paper texture coupled with the heavy grained paint makes for some nice metal textures. /
I found this old razor blade while taking a walk and for some reason the character of it appealed to me. It is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The character of these paints coupled with the coarse grain of this paper help to add to the rusty texture of the piece. /

This Saluting Battery was built by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century. It is located at the Upper Barracca Gardens in Valletta. The daily gun-firing at mid-day, keeps this Saluting Battery alive, thanks to the FWA members. – MALTA NOT FOR SALE
