Table Legs

Posted on October 25, 2017 by D. Katie Powell

I had the opportunity to repair the finish on these lovely legs from a family table,
and now I paint them.  They were stacked in my finish studio for a long time
in this manner and reminded me of ancient ruins.

You might have noticed I stopped #inktober2017…
I love this particular challenge, and will do it again… it is a wonderful drawing tune-up and to do it with so many others and see the stream of images in Instagram and FB is fun.
BUT,
A challenge is only as good as it is for you at the time.
I am swamped with work — swamped — and have a creative inspiration that is taking me in a different direction, and so, I ended Inktober.

You won’t see my inspiration until it is ready, and in the  meantime
I will post from time to time as I get the chance to sketch….

    I really love these legs. A great view of them. Yes busy life can hamper some things we would like to do.
