“Sewing Time”
original was oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This is what you end up with if you sew a lot!
Like sewing, this painting took a lot of work~
WELCOME TO MY ART!
I have been a painter and sculptor for over 43 years professionally and after all this time, I still love it. It is challenging, makes me think about the world and keeps me connected to life.
My art is a mix of realism and impressionism with a bit of humor thrown in.

Excellent work
Fantastic detail. this is a flashback memory for sure. My mother sewed a lot and there was always a supple of the wooden spools mostly the Coats & Clark’s. What make this special is my wife sews some and the spools today are plastic and certainly more than 15 cents. Excellent work, masterfully painted Linda.
Hey Jim,
I know what you mean. My mom use to sew all the time and taught me. I have done a lot of sewing over the years and I certainly MISS the wooden spools! and your wife is correct…….. they sure cost a LOT more (for plastic yuk!). These will become collectors items someday:)
Thanks for commenting~

Jay (host)Congratulations Linda, excellent realism.
Wonderful paintings!
reall reall amazing work my friend…awesomeee!!!!
Love the Coats and Clarks Spools! My mother used that thread and those spools. We used to take the empty spools and make little tractors using wooden matchsticks, candlewax and a rubber band. You would them up, set them down and they would travel across the floor. Your image brought back some very good memories.
I don’t think they still make wooden spools.
