A blast from the past - Blacksmith's Shop

In the beginning I painted a lot.  I was fascinated by the intricate detail of all the tools in the shop and how the light from the window lit the room.  I loved the monochromatic tone of the entire piece and the sense of history it hinted at.  I think this image it tends to be a little too dark for most but I LOVED painting this piece many years ago.
