Description
Picture of the blacksmith in his shop, looking out while still holding his hammer. Perhaps taking a short break to observe the weather or some activity outside.
A 19th century shop filled with the blacksmiths tools of his trade, fire roaring in the Forge ready for the next piece of iron.
The Blacksmith kept the workspace dark so he/she could see the color of the iron as it was heated in the forge. The color would indicate the temperature of the metal which was important in the forging process.

This is stunning. So much story within this image. Congratulations on your recent sale.

Lovely light and a wonderful contemplative expression - every laborer must pause now and then to take in the world or reflect on it. This is my pick for CAT in the MOUSE group for July 17.

What an evocative piece. My granddad had a blacksmith shop on his Texas farm MANY years ago. F/V

Beautiful HDR quality to it. Lights and darks almost make it look painted! Thanks for sharing!
