EDM Challenge #139: Draw Something with a Handle
This is a ship lantern that we purchased on Rue Jacob, Paris, in an antique store specialing in nautical objects. Many times over the last 2 years I almost sketched it just because I like it so much and see it every day. This challenge made it the perfect choice. We had it hanging in our home in Texas, but it now just sits on a surface in our dining room in our New York apartment.

I love this lantern and you did a great job with your rendition. Very nice image and it must carry wonderful memories of the places it has been.

I have one similar though not as old. Brass and Copper. Yours is lovely as is your painting. It is a perfect choice for the challenge as well as an interesting one.
