Winding Wheel c. 1937

"Winding Wheel" is a watercolor painting created by Florence Truelson in 1937. The artwork depicts a wooden spinning wheel, likely a traditional tool used for making yarn. Truelson's meticulous attention to detail and the use of a muted color palette create a sense of realism and highlight the functional beauty of the spinning wheel. This work, executed during Truelson's later career, shows her interest in the craft and objects of everyday life. It is an example of still life, a genre of art where the artist focuses on representing inanimate objects, often with symbolic meaning.
