I finished my watercolor classes and now have done my first project on my own and here it is. It is a painting of an old oil lamp belonging to Phyllis Williams, a friend from Missouri. One of our son-in-laws, Doug Peterson, has an artist background as his dad, Max, is an artist. He made some suggestions to highlight the chimney, but I had already framed the picture. I have shown the original photo, the finished painting and the framed pix. I could not get the black background to work, so I softened up the background.
