A faithful servant

 


From time to time I like to pick up my pencils and do a simple graphite drawing. I admit to always struggling with the use of paints. I enjoy the process, but am seldom satisfied with the end result. Pencil drawing is something that I am better able to control and, as well as enjoying the process, I usually enjoy the end result too. It's much more rewarding and satisfying for me.

This old kettle was submitted to my forum's monthly challenge by one of the members. The wonky handle isn't bad drawing on my part but a consequence of the age of the kettle and demonstrative of the hard life it's lead. The member explained that it's deformed handle gives it character and that is why she could never part with it, It is now in retirement and serving out the rest of its years as a watering can in her garden.
