Old Waterwheel

[OleKobe]

I buy up old postcards at antique stores and I enjoy trying to make larger paintings out of them. This is my take on an old waterwheel from somewhere in Idaho. Oils on 16x20 canvas. Thanks for looking!

This is much more engaging than any postcard! Your painterly interpretation is so full of life!

Some old postcards have lovely photos, many of historic places. You've made a lovely painting of this one.

I really love this composition. It holds my interest throughout. It has a ton going for it and it's very painterly, which is what I look for among my favorite artworks.

Thank you, Terri. At first I thought the yellow/orange was too overpowering but I decided to leave it in.

Thank you Margaret. I was tempted to buy some more postcards this past weekend!

Thank you for the wonderful comment, Ayin. I don't use oils often but I when I do I like trying to create a 3D effect by using gobs of paint.
