Painting - Watercolor On Paper

Description

This is my second rendering of the Grainger bagpipes that belonged to my Father-in-law�s uncle Horace MacCombie. I went for a slightly more impressionistic approach while attempting a different perspective and accentuating other areas of the pipes compared to my first version. For some reason, to me this has the feeling of a cat sleeping in a corner. It is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The coarse paper with heavy granulated paint helps to lend texture to the cloth and various metal areas in the piece. The original is 14"x10.25" in size.

I like your flower work alot, but I love your metals. I had not seen this one before and think it is fabulous. Especially the silver rings or whatever they are called, they look like real metal. Sweet.

Ken Powers replied:

Thank you Sandra! I got to borrow this very old set of pipes from my Father-In-Law in order to paint them. I was going to do a few more versions but I was afraid to have them around the house as the kids couldn't keep away from them!

Will Borden

An extremely appealing watercolor- terrific subject! Stumbled.

A Hieland laddie to be sure. Can you play the bagpipes and are you in fact - Scottish?? Such fun these look but I am aware of the intricate side to this painting - as with all your paintings of course. I came again to say a thank you for your kind comments on my Escape. er..um.. weeeelll - you know!

Sue Zimmermann

Great composition for such an unusual instrument. Thanks for your comments.

Larry Keahey

Outstanding art, as always.

Anne-Elizabeth Whiteway

Peter Lau

Love the way the shadows on this painting and effect of the granulated paints done to this painting. Nice color and highlights. Great work

Marsha Elliott

Once again, you've outdone yourself. This obviously took alot of planning & sketching to get everything just right. It's such a wonderful piece relecting alot of skill in the way it's composed & painted.
