Gardens and Parks, The Old Swing, by Penny StewArt
"The Old Swing by the Tree"
I tried to indicate the shadow beneath the swing, but I don't know if that worked or not. Watercolor and pen on 140# hot press WC Paper, ATC size, 2.5 x 3.5 inches.
This painting is so sweet. Reminds me of times gone by when swings were something included in every day play and life. Great job. So much detail in such a small painting, I keep seeing other creatives working with the small sizes and now I am ready to try it out. Happy PPF Penny and the shadowing looks great to me.

Precious. I love swings and swinging on them. Love the stone wall too! Shadow looks fine.

ReplyDeleteHi Penny. How I want a swing so bad. I want to swing on your swing. One day soon I will have my husband put one up for me. Great job!
ReplyDeleteNostalgic little painting. Summer days.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! Glad it brings back good memories. I really want a porch swing!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I too love swings. very country gardenish. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, brilliant painting. I love your use of pen work.
ReplyDeletePenny, this is just calling out for someone to come and sit and swing...legs dangling and hair flying in the air. Great sketch!!
ReplyDeletePenny, yes, I can remember too how it was to swing with the swing! Great painting and the shadow is there too:)
