it rocks!


This rocker belonged to my maternal grandfather. It lived a long time on a farm in Kansas; now we use it every day in NH.

Shaker-simple styles work well everywhere. I think of him and my farm explorations often when I sit here. We don't need a specific day to remember our lost ones; they're always near to mind.

Very nice!
I especially like these last three posts, your shading and use of color is getting really good.

Thanks! I'm seeing how much difference the paper makes in how to work the fluids.
