Sewing Machine Series

White Rotary-painting and its model

This series started with a commissioned painting of an antique sewing machine. I became fascinated by the intricate workings. As I researched the possibility of turning this into a series of paintings, I found that there was huge variety among sewing machines. I saw teeny-tiny ones that looked like toys, but were as functional as many that were full-sized. So many colors, designs, and embellishments! I never realized. It was love at first sight when I found this one. I'd say it must have died with its boots on! I'd love to track down its history. And yes, there will be a bird.

 

This painting is about two-thirds finished. I have a special group of followers who get to see finished work before everyone else does. If you would like to be part of that group, you can leave a comment and I'll add you. Or you can add yourself at

Hello, Jan ~ I just adore your sewing machine series. I still have my mother's Singer purchased in 1952 (the receipt is still in the little flip down drawer in the front). I have many, many small children's sewing machines and how I came to have this collection is another story. I very much enjoyed browsing your work.

Wow Karen, I'd love to see pictures of those sewing machines and hear the story behind your collection. I'm all about the story. What a treasure to still have your mother's machine. I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. More to come. -Jan
