# 55 Brass hanging lamp

I have some wonderful old hanging brass lamps. This one hangs in the doorway which leads out to a space where I have many potted plants, mostly greens! I liked the fact that the lamp was in the shade and the bright sunlight shone on some of the leaves in the background. It was a quick painting, the whole thing took me about an hour....For Christmas my daughter Nafisa gave me two special pens to use with Indian ink so I thought that I would use them with this painting! The more I use ink the more I like the effect!
