There's a country town that I visit occasionally for work and every time I go there I see this same fire hydrant. Every time I take a picture of it and say to myself, "That is a beautiful hydrant, I'm going to paint that one day". Well, I finally got around to it! I just love the shapes and shadows the hydrant casts, especially in the country sun, so rather than my usual pen and ink approach, I decided to paint it which really helped illustrate the light.
