I found this railroad spike years ago and after seeing some of the other artists on Daily Painters Blog - especially http://dailylifepainting.blogspot.com/. I liked the sharp edges in his paintings because they were not harsh and curt, but rather tactile. The tone of D. B. Ellis' still life paintings (http://dbellisart.blogspot.com/) inspired my palette, as did the simplicity of my new friend Pilan's small paintings (http://pilan.blogspot.com/). Trying new things seems to be working for me lately so I continue it here with new subject matter, new tone, and an altered approach. Fair warning, I will probably paint his subject again. I like the challenge it presents. ~NEXT
