Sewing Machines

Kate Kern Mundie, Sewing Machine, 6 x 8 inches, ink on paper

Sewing machine is a wonderful still life object. The sleek design and silhouette of an old machine is a pleasure to draw and paint.

The first three images are of  a peddle powered machine in a sewing cabinet and the last image is a portable table top Singer from the 1920's.

Sewing and sewing machines appear throughout art history, whether as a symbol or as a part of the female interior world.

I use the sewing machine as still life object or as an interior paintings focus.
