4"x6" oil on door skin. Ah chrome, the Sybil of painting subjects. Chrome is kinda like tofu. Tofu's taste reflects what's around it or what it's seasoned with and chrome reflects its surroundings. In order to get the pins as close as possible, I taped them to a piece of paper and attached it to my easel. I still had to lean in to get a good look at the pins and I think the ocherish color you see on the pins is actually the reflection of my planetary mug.
