More from the "Torn Pages" series

I love making these "Torn Pages"... the whole process is wonderful... from scanning old novels to find interesting words and sentances, too pondering the image to marry with it. Sometimes the image is there instantly... you find the sentance or word and the image flashes straight into my head...other times i know that i like the words.. i just have to find the right picture in my head. They are still popular at the gallery... can't keep up with restocking them!!

Washing brushes

I have had a realisation... that whenever i move in a different direction to try something new.... i wash my brushes!.
When I'm working on a series or busy painting I just use every brush i have or reuse them and then they stay in jars of water.... then i will leave them for a week or so... not even thinking of them.
But last night I was thinking of some new work and charging up for something new.... and i wanted to wash my brushes. start afresh.
This lead me to muse that I do this habitually!!!
...just a quirk I thought I'd share...

P.S. I'm washing brushes today... wonder what new things will come of it!
