Description
I just had to find a way to incorporate some chain link fence into my floral series as it has been a while since I have painted anything metal. I had a lot of fun with this piece and don't terribly mind the busy composition. I used a Raphael 803 Squirrel mop and a Raphael 8404 #6 for brushes for the piece. The paints used were exclusively Sennelier pan paints and the paper is Sennelier 140# Cold-Pressed. The original is 16"x12" in size.

Ken - this is outstanding, truly. I would love to stand and watch you as you paint - you come up with such interesting subjects, paints, techniques. I'm in awe.

Ken, I totally agree with the others...the juxtaposition of the hard metal and soft flower make for a very interesting painting. I also really like the way you are dealing with the lights and darks...shadows. Beautiful work. Can't wait to see more!

Lots to think about with this one. I agree with the girls, I like your metal work. Great job with the light and shadow in the flower. The fence looks so real, I feel like I could slip my fingers into it and shake it. I would have never thought of this combo but you pulled it off! Well done.
Ken Powers replied:
Thanks Sandra! It is definitely a bit on the busy side but it was a lot of fun to paint. The fence is my favorite part too!

I'm just in awe, Ken. Wow.....what a painting! The flower is just beautiful of course, but to be honest, I've sort of missed your metal pieces, too, as that's what drew me to your work in the first place. The two elements together makes for a stunning piece & the spattered background gives it wonderful texture.
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Marsha! I had to figure a way to work some metal into one of these somehow!
