A bag with four buckles
Posted: December 7, 2025 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 CommentsThis bag has been hanging around our house forever, but as with many things, sometimes you see it differently when it gets moved. In the course of some recent closet reorganization, it came out of a dark corner into the light and I was reminded of how beautiful it is. It was purchased in Crete many years ago, and has followed us around from home to home. I tried first to paint it in watercolour but I couldn’t capture patina or the worn curves of the thick leather so I drew it in ink instead. I think this version has more solidity.
