I had to think a bit....but, it's the ironing.
This is my iron, and I like it. It's old and has a good weight to it, so it presses well. But I gotta say I like painting it way more than I like using it :)
What's sad is that my iron stays set up in my studio for quilting and sewing. All I have to do is set up the ironing board and get it done. But I'm always behind, or forgetting, to do the ironing.

I like the loose painting on this, which is so delicate, yet it shows so clearly the weight and solidity of the iron. Yes, I remember the days when the iron and ironing board lived in the sewing room, before moving to a small apartment and concentrating more on less demanding art forms.
ReplyDeleteI shall be coming back often to see all your lovely knitting and stitching work. Thank you for such a nice comment on my blog. Jez
I certainly love looking at your lovely painting far more than doing my own ironing! Maybe I should try and paint my iron and then possibly grow fonder of it.... Hmmmm :)
ReplyDeletefantastic watercolor, it looks exactly like an iron, which I would think it hard to get, as irons have a strange shape. I don't iron at all, throw it in the dryer to unwrinkle, tada, done!! hehehe. Can you say LAZY??
