I wanted to draw them since July 2010, when I saw the Amish carriages on the road in Ohio and made a photo. Beautiful anachronism, full member of road traffic. These three carriages were parked near the wall of the supermarket, waiting patiently for their owners.

And figs, my new attempt in fight with watercolor. Watercolor keeps holding out the fort))).
Irina I LOVE the carriages, fantastic capture. People still use these? They're smart, the money they save on vehicles would be astronomical!

ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
Great sketches, Irina! And I love the figs! That touch of lime green is delicious!
ReplyDeleteyou're doing beautifully with your watercolors, irina. and your amish carriages truly evoke amish country.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. The Amish not only still use these carriages, most of them do not use electricity or power equipment or appliances.
ReplyDeleteI once stopped and questioned some Amish farmers in a field in Pennsylvania. The had a horse drawn wagon, but a gasoline engine machine that was cutting and harvesting the corn stalks. I asked them about their use of the machine, but not a tractor or a car. They replied that "We have to draw the line some place, and this is much faster than cutting by hand."
Hi Irina, the sketches of the Amish carriage are great....and the figs too! Ciao!
