Scully Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I've been working on highly detailed 'found' objects arranged on a still life theme for a gallery in Lancashire. This is the latest one of several I've done of taps; this one is of a verdigris brass tap and an old Corgi toy I found amongst a tin of others from my youth. Hope you like it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Thanks all. The picture has posted larger than actual size for some reason, making it look out of focus, but sincere thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Awesome work , the tap especially looks more like a photograph than a drawing as fenboy said like the tap, as I can picture one looks so real, find them in the old bits & bobs boxes on the farm.

sishyplops Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I looked at that a few times and read the comments on how talented you are and thought what's talent got to do with taking a photo of an old tap next to a toy car, this was all before I realised it wasn't a photo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul taylor Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm looking at this on my phone and my brain can't understand it's not actually just a tap and toy sat on a piece of paper ha ha. I really do admire the talent of people who can draw/ paint etc. I struggle to do a stick figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Nice Sheffield pocket knife there. Thanks, it is isn't it. I haven't done it justice really in that painting but it will feature in further work. I have no idea where it came from ( but suspect it belonged to my Dad ) and was seized solid when I came across it. Liberal quantities of WD40 released both blades and they close with a satisfying 'snap'. It is UK legal and lives in my pocket now. Wow - what a blooming weird selection of things to paint though You might have a fit of excitement rooting about my outbuildings lol I have an endless supply of outbuildings to root through thanks. I once painted a BMC engine rusting in a puddle in a local scrapyard, which sold, and a couple of years ago got through the first stages of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London with a painting of a Pillar Drill. It hasn't sold yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
