Here’s Karryn’s dad, 92 year old Darwin, working in his shop. He was a small engine repair guy for many years and has a mountain of tools as you can see. And I guess I left out the half of them…it’s confusing enough already. Darwin and daughter Deanna hosted me for 2 days on my cross country trip and it was delightful staying with them. It was a most delightful respite from life on the road. Looking forward to his visit to Ithaca this fall. Pencil, watercolor and gouache on paper. SOLD

I love this picture and all the tiny details you included. Such a familiar sight – an old farmer in his workshop.

Thanks Sara. I am somewhat disappointed in it but already spent a long time with it. Only half of the stuff in the real barn is pictured here. I just couldn’t keep it up. But it feels too clean because of that to me. He’s the sweetest guy too and I don’t know how to get that across either.

The sweetness comes through in the hunch of his shoulders and the way his pants hang.
