first stages....with shadows

 

I wonder when people in Memphis, my neighborhood specifically, started putting iron on every window and door?  If I had to guess I'd say the 70s.  Luckily for me the people that lived in my home for fifty years had good taste.  They picked a beautifully ornate pattern that  cast elegant shadows throughout the day. 

These three paintings are in the armature building phase.  I have in mind where I want each one to go, but seeing them grouped together with these patterns suggest whole new possibilities.
