The hidden hand

This old pump is outside the gate of our house and I have wanted to paint it for the 10 years we have lived here. we are getting ready to move so it was on my to do list. Pen and ink on cartridge paper with note to myself to practise those eclipses - perspective again

Comment by Norah Blount on January 11, 2019 at 12:35: Thank you kyrle and Helder. It was outside the gate of our last home in Westmeath. I heard that it was painted red by the new owners. I have lots of photos and sketches so I'll do a wc someday .

Comment by Kyrle Cahill on January 10, 2019 at 12:08: I missed this one Norah its a real beauty, evokes the whole nature of water,

Comment by Norah Blount on April 22, 2014 at 12:12: Thank you John, I have switched to using Arches NOT as I was finding arches rough not very respsonsive, I also like to to use Saunders Waterford and Langton Prestige in pads is lovely as it is whiter than normal

Comment by John McManus on April 19, 2014 at 14:22: Wonderful set of watercolours Norah. Very accomplished.

Comment by Norah Blount on April 19, 2014 at 13:25: Sean, if you could only see how many times I rubbed out those elipses on the pump, but a bit of rust covers a multitude - thank you for your comment, this is one to use for the many techniques in that lovely book you loaned me so thank you for the inspiriation

Comment by Sean Quinn on April 19, 2014 at 12:09: A little gem of a watercolour, Norah. Love the strong variations in the pump and the background.
