Lunamoth

A bit of glare on the left side; sorry!

This afternoon Frank and I went to an abandoned feed and farm supply place near here so that he could take some photos of one of his favourite subjects, rusty old junk.  There’s plenty of rusty old junk at this place, and I’m sure a photo or two will turn up on his blog in the near future.

While I like looking at rusty old junk as much as the next person (i.e., it’s not as endlessly fascinating to me as it seems to be to some husbands I know), I thought I should take along my easel and some paints so that I wouldn’t get tooooooo bored while Frank did his work.  I knew beforehand that I wasn’t going to be especially inspired by anything there (we’d scouted out this location previously), but I thought I could find something interesting enough to keep me occupied for a while.  I ended up doing a quick knife-painting of a rusty metal drum and a couple of tires.  Junk at its finest, for sure.  I don’t know that I’ll take this painting any further, but it was a fun way to spend an hour on a Wednesday afternoon.
