I started this painting at a class with Enid Wood here. As I finished it, I thought it would be a good replacement for Jeff and Sharon. I delivered it yesterday. They were happy to receive their painting at last! It is framed in a 2 inch, dark reddish wooden frame with a black touch around the opening of the frame near the painting. The scene is from a photo and my memories.
Snyder's Draw
Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper
12 x 9 inches
Of course, they had to give us something in return. Jeff works with iron, rocks and photographs. We bought a star made of horseshoes a few years ago. It survived the fire without too much damage. We decided to keep it as is rather than have him repair it. Anyway, he gave us a star made from railroad spikes. Pretty cool. We will get it hung when we get back in the fall.
The new star, is about 16 inches tall.

I think it is so gracious that you have replaced the destroyed paintings for people. This one is lovely so I am sure they will love it!!
Thanks, Joan. It is the least I can do. We have had the same come back to us. Always a good feeling. :)
I like the Snyder's Draw painting. It seems so simple, yet has good detail and depth. Very nice.
I have a neighbor who is a blacksmith. He has given me a few things over the years. He does lots of demos and such. It is always fun to see him work.
Hi, Bag Blog. Thank you. It must be hard work hefting all that iron around. Jeff made a huge locomotive sculpture. I can't imagine.
I really like the painting. And, the new star is pretty cool!
Joanna, thank you!! We will have to find a good spot for the star. I'm thinking on it.
