Copper-Myne : Colored Pencil on Watercolor Paper Size: 20 x 24 inches

Copper-Myne is a richly detailed colored pencil drawing that captures the timeless allure of handcrafted copperware displayed beneath a weathered awning in an old marketplace. The title plays on the word mine, evoking both the literal origin of the metal and the treasure-like feel of a “hidden find.”

Inspired by a small “hole-in-the-wall” shop, this piece invites viewers to pause and appreciate the artistry of everyday objects — hammered platters, pitchers, and ornate vessels that gleam with age and history. The softly unfinished architectural background is intentional, a nod to ancient stone walls that have withstood centuries of weather and change. Against this quiet backdrop, the warm tones of copper radiate life and light, symbolizing endurance and cultural legacy.

For collectors who love works that blend realism with atmosphere, Copper-Myne offers both — a story of craftsmanship, trade, and the quiet dignity of things made by hand. It speaks to those who find beauty in patina, texture, and the echo of distant markets.

Ideal For:

Art collectors, cultural enthusiasts, interior designers seeking old-world charm, and those drawn to architectural or marketplace scenes rich with texture and heritage.
