This wonderful old hand-drill has been in my family for as long as I can remember. It came to me through my maternal grandfather, after his passing, more than forty years ago. I've used it for its original purpose a few times, but I'm not real good with it, at least not as good as I remember him using it when I was little. I've always wanted to make a painting of it, and this past month, I finally did. It's a rather large piece, 40 inches across. And I love it!
This painting was awarded First Place in the watercolor category at the Lincoln Gallery 2026 National Fine Art and Photography Show, in Loveland Colorado.
