Watercolored Wheels


Wheels, originally uploaded by bmgarner.

I like the masculinity of this image of a group of wheels inside a group of wheels. When I saw the original photograph at Flickr.com, I emailed the owner and asked permission to watercolor the image. Thanks go to "booksin" at Flickr for the approval.

  1. Hi Jim,

    Hi Jim, I stubbled on to your site today from Penny's. Love your stuff! I spent ages looking back at all your work. Love your new watercolour you posted today and previous one of the train wheel too. I am intrigued by your colour pallette and how you mix colours. Your portraits in watercolour, pen or pencil are great. I am inspired to draw more looking at your work. :) Thanks for sharing.

  8. JIM! How good to see you back posting! This is a great piece -- vaguely reminds me of your train wheels, but with much free-er use of color. This is really a spectacular piece!

    I hope all is going well with you and yours. :-)
