Original Watercolor, "Summertime Team," Image Size 4.5 inches x 3 inches (8x10 Double Mat, Unframed)
[Carrot Barn for some pansies, geraniums and petunias is building.
I found the watering can in this still life at one of our local junk shops many years ago. It had such charm and even though it was dented and obviously well used I had to have it. I expressed my interest and inquired as to the price.
“Go ahead and take it,” the shop owner said.
“Are you sure?” I asked in disbelief. All that charm and FREE I thought.
“Absolutely,” he confirmed.
With his generous permission I took it home and now after many more seasons of use, and a little duct tape to seal a pin hole in the bottom, it’s usefulness has never waned, it’s usefulness would not be stopped by a little leak. In summer this old watering can sits in a place of honor on the steps near my kitchen door. Worn, used and mended this old watering can is my favorite garden tool.
