Title
Rusty Milk
Artist
Ken Powers
Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
This old milk canister had been sitting around our house for years. We had no idea what we wanted to do with it so I thought I would add it to my collection of watercolor paintings. For some reason, I had the absolute worst time trying to get the blues in this piece to scan correctly. I have always had trouble scanning the Lapis Lazuli but this one was a particular nightmare. The piece is painted with a combination of Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint and Daniel Smith Primatek paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The paper and paint combinations really create some interesting textural effects. The original piece is 10.25"x14" in size.

Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Patricia! Can you believe the dairy industry contacted me about this one and threatened to sue if I didn't change its name from "Got Rusty Milk?" to "Rusty Milk"? Funny stuff!

The blues and oranges play off each other so nicely. I really like the area where the paint is chipping as well - wonderful work. And great title!

And you've immortalized it! Superb texture, colour and shadows, as in all your battered 'objet d'art', Ken.

You may have had some scanning blues (how do you like that pun!), but it looks as if it worked out for you. This is another beautiful painting, Ken - very beautifully executed. It looks like I could reach out and touch it!

Such a great painting, Ken. You've captured the age of this old can so very well. Some people take thses old cans & paint them up in a decorative fashion to add to their country decor. That's OK, but I like them best just as in this painting to age gracefully in their natural state.
