This is a realistic colored pencil painting I did based on a photograph I took during a visit to the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. I was taken by the old look of the brick, the bars on the window, and how this was softened by the presence of a beautiful flowering vine. The piece was done on Dura-lar polyester film using Prismacolor Verithin pencils. It measures 8 inches X 12 inches. I was told that the dark coloration on the individual bricks is due to a mold associated with the distillation and aging process of bourbon whiskey. I'm not a bourbon drinker, but this is a beautiful place to visit. Hope you enjoy.
