My Favorite Things #3, an original oil painting by Rebecca Jennings (Sunny)

"Afternoon Reflections"
12" x 12" 
Oil on stretched canvas

This spinning wheel was a gift to me from my late husband. I loved the feel of the smooth wood of the wheel and paddle. I can imagine the raw carded wool of the sheep being made into yarn to knit warm clothing . I have passed this on to my eldest daughter who is a fiber artist, and has recently taken up spinning. Fond memories of quieter days!

My Favorite Things #1 - "Strings Attached", an Original oil painting by Rebecca Jennings (Sunny)

I am currently working on a series of "My Favorite Things", where memories of childhood days are the primary focus. Come along with me on my journey into the carefree days of a past, all-but-forgotten way of life.  Together we will reminisce and recreate happy times.

These  old skates hanging on a nail on the covered porch wall remind me of the kids of our little town meeting at Myers' pond to go skating several times during the winter. The bigger boys would shovel any new-fallen snow off the ice. Sometimes there would be a wood fire far back on the bank to warm our hands by. It was a regular meeting place for all the neighborhood, kids and adults alike.

 Some of my paintings for sale. I also do commissions on a regular basis. You can see my other work at "Sunny's Fine Art Studio". Just click on the link.
