Glass Door Knob
Can't remember where I found this, but it's been in my archive of photos for some time. I've always liked glass door knob because of the way they capture and reflect the colors in a room. Plus there's something about the way the glass "feels" when one goes to open a door. This is a 5" x 7", watercolor, pen & ink, on Fabriano paper.

My Butler grandparents' farmhouse in Michigan was a treasure trove of mysteries, all held close behind doors with glass knobs like this. It would be cool to find a mother lode supply of them and have them here at home ... The color palette in this one evokes Andrew Wyeth - great job!
Actually, finding them isn't that hard. There are dealers in architectural salvage who sell these by the truckload. I've also seen them at antique places. I had them in one of my TN homes and remember them in my paternal grandmother's home on Va's Eastern Shore. Funny you should mention grandparents. In thinking of a title for this piece (for an upcoming show) I had actually thought of the rather oblique, "Grandma's Room," because that was the memory evoked.
Nice blog you got here. It would be great to read something more about that topic. Thnx for posting this info.
