1949 Plymouth Ship Hood Ornament

Here is a completely different direction for me to head in... I am painting from my husband's collection of antique hood ornaments! I love this one, and I like how the painting worked. These hood ornaments might make a fun series... 

10 x 10 acrylic on watercolor paper,
mounted on cradled panel

"We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." C. S. Lewis
