24"x36" Acrylics on Canvas
This is an IN PROGRESS shot of one of my current paintings. The subject matter comes from two memories of visiting my grandparents on their farm in Kentucky. They had humongous pigs in a pen (much nicer than this one actually) and some of the smaller gates on the farm were actually beautiful old metal headboards. They had simply gotten new beds and re-purposed the old ones. I thought this was unique to my family but when I spoke to someone who grew up in Virginia they had seen the same thing done there. I suppose it was the depression era generation way to get one more use out the old beds when they bought new.
