Welcome to my Peculiar Picture
Files, where I display one of my illustrations that has yet to find a buyer.
This picture is the result of what happens when an artist is bored and doesn’t
have a project to work on. I decided to paint a portrait of one of my
paintbrushes. I had no idea the result would be so magical and romantic.
If you look closely you’ll see that the
paint appears to be cracked, as if this were a really old painting. Actually,
this is acrylic, a modern quick-drying plastic paint. I wanted to see if I
could achieve the vintage look of an old oil canvas. Most people tell me they
think this is oil, so I guess I succeeded.
Your guess is as good as mine when it
comes to figuring out what, if anything, this image means.
