A worn paint brush on a (mostly) white painted canvas. This image was inspired by the phrase “an expensive camera makes a great photograph just as much as a paintbrush makes a great painting.” I thought I’d use my expensive (to me) camera to photograph the brush in action. I’m still waiting for the masterpiece…… Continue reading Paint Brush

Lines on Paper
While trying (and failing) to create some sort of folded/creased sculptures, I happily discovered this composition of crossing lines on one of the discarded pieces of paper.
