Nursey Rhymes Top


(Sold),
8 by 11 inches, Acrylic on acid free illustration board

This painting depicts a top I recently purchased at a local flea market. I enjoy painting tops because of the bright colorful characters and the reflection of the shiny metal surface.

Mickey Top

Click to Bid,              8 by 9 inches,                    Acrylic on acid free illustration board
My latest find from a recent flea market visit was this vintage Ohio Art Mickey Mouse top.
I went outdoors to sit up the still life to take advantage of the morning sun light.

Circus Spinner in Shadows

Sold         8 by 10 inches,    Acrylic on acid free illustration board,
This is the second painting for this top.  With the majority of the upper top being white I wasn't sure what to expect during the painting process.  It's more difficult to show reflections in the white.  However, I think the end result looks fine.

Space Top with Reflection

I've painted this top several times before.  This version is done on panel.  I thought the combination of the darkness and the reflection worked well.

My main concern in this piece was the placement of the tops.  I wanted each top to have an interesting position without any repetition of spacing.

Circus Spinner

Sold           8 by 9 inches,            Acrylic on acid free illustration board,
I just purchased this vintage toy top at a local flea market.  It has some tarnish but my main concern was the color brilliance.  I reproduced some of the minor tarnish in the painting.
