For some time now, I've wanted to do a set of 2' x 4' paintings for my dining room. A knife, fork and spoon. Primitive acrylics. Something that I can actually do. I have the canvases and I can get the paints. I just need to decide which of my silverware I want to use as an inspiration. I have collected a set of mismatched silverware over the years, mostly at flea markets and other thrift shops, and it's all quite tarnished at this point. As much as I love the look of the flourishes, scrolls and flowers on the actual handles, I don't believe my painting skill set is good enough to do them justice. Right now, I'm liking the long handle of the third knife from the bottom. It has a few details that might be a bit of a challenge ~ I'll have to see if I can't do a draft first.
