Vintage Film Projectors

These projectors have been missing from my repertoire for too long.

Projector I, above, is the first film projector I painted. Found at Everything Old Canada.

Perfect profile for painting. Everything about them slots in precisely in to what I like in a subject for painting. Obsolete technology with a fantastic design. The reels are dramatic and circular, they compliment the square canvas. I find them eye catching.

Projector II was with me for several years. It was in a case, and I simply forgot about it as I didn’t have any reels to go along with it. It blended in amongst all the other typewriter cases and luggage I have sitting around.

During one of our recent moves, I picked up the case and was confused at why it weighed so much. Opened up the case and was so delighted to find it.
