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.

Farming Top
This top is not a vintage mid-century top like most of the other tops depicted in my paintings.
This is actually a retro top produced within the last 20 years. I liked the images on the top and decided to paint it.

The reference photos for this painting were taken mid afternoon. Thus there's not a lot of value difference.
