Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date! Her theme is 'Round and Round' this week. I did a water wheel ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), they do go round and round after all as most wheels do. I was inspired by a photo I saw on Valerie’s blog.
I'm not playing this week because I'm creating a monthly tutorial. But I wanted to stop by because I always love your art. It is beautiful and this is no exception. There's a working water wheel in a town north of where I live, so I was totally impressed with what you created today.
I have always loved water wheels. There have been old restored water wheels in the last two towns I have lived in and it was a place that I visited often. My Aunt had a waterwheel on her farm when I was growing up. We would sit and watch it go round and round ... it was mesmerizing. So now I live in an old country area that has grown up into a spreading suburb, but, I am guessing, now that you have brought my attention to it, that if I look around, I will find a water wheel here too. That will be something fun to do by myself and help me pass another boring day. Anyway, your art captured the nostalgic effect of every old water wheel ... love it Christine :)
