Planter on a chest ~ Andy Smith, watercolor

6"x4" Miniature Original Watercolor

I was intrigued by the angle.
Lace curtains, a little sun shining to create a
warm patina on the chest.

Wonderful finish on the chest. The whole feeling is peaceful.

A painting of the inside of a window.You have mastered the light and shadowing from both sides. Seeing the lighting from inside shows off your excellent ability to soften your paintings so beautifully.

One thing I have noticed since being able to follow your work on DPP is the variety of subjects you paint. Seeing you at various shows in the past, you display a large selection of Lancaster Subjects.- I am sure they are the most popular with show crowds in the area. But, with DPP, I can view so much more of your work, and see how you go about paintings them.

I agree with Mary Beth--the patina on the chest is beautiful--a warm, comforting little painting.

Andy, this is one of my favorites of yours. It took me back to my grandmother's house when I was a child, with the soft light filtering through the lace curtains, and a plant on an old chest (hers were usually african violets). This is gorgeous. You have such a talent for capturing a quiet, intimate moment in time.
