"Old Plane"

Old Plane
8 x 10"
Oil on stretched canvas

  When I saw this week's challenge, I know it is the time to paint a tool from my husband's workshop. I always want to paint those hand tools, especially this old plane, it reminds me of Chinese ancient time, we were still creative then, but now... 
  Mention of my hubby's tools, I feel that men love tools are just like women love shoes--you always need another one in your shop/closet!
  It is very interesting to set up this still life, I added couple of wood shavings to join the plane to get more practice on reflected light on different edges. Thanks Eileen for the fun challenge of this week!

"Ferris Wheel Ride"

Ferris Wheel Ride
6 x 6"
oil on 1/4" gessoed board
Sold
  When I was thinking about DPW this week's "The wheel challenge", this big bright Ferris wheel comes to my mind, it brought back the joyous memories of playing in the local fair with my family. The challenge is about the "wheels" give us the freedom and speed, I don't know if the Ferris wheel count?...Take a ride!
