Reduced - Storm Watch Compass
Reduced - Storm Watch Compass
A miniature lighthouse stands out against the deep blue stormy sky in this enamel painting. I use rich oil enamel and a tiny brush directly on the brass. The scene is built up over 4 painting sessions to create all the layers of sky, ocean, and itty bitty detail.
This piece is reduced because the needle is wonky on its pin and will not reliably find north. The pin gets stuck, and is wonky on its center post. While it looks marvelous, it will not get you found if you become lost. Perhaps emotionally, but not physically.
The compass measures 1 1/2" x 1 3/4", and is 5/8" deep when closed. It has a snug hinge, and an indentation for opening with your finger. There is an exterior knob that holds the needle inside still when not in use.
