Inspiration

It is easy to see beauty in a flower, but it takes a quiet mind to see beauty in other things. 

Watercolor on paper, 5 x 8 inches.

A few weekends ago I was helping my brother clean out his garroge in preparation of moving.  It hadn't been cleanre dout in a decade and was full of rusted, moldy disgusting-ness.  Most of it went straight into a dumpster, but some things had to be set aside, like this little metal gas can.

I can't say what it was, but something about it really caught my attention, so I snapped a few quick pictures of it with my phone for later use ( I was there to help clean after all, not sit down and paint).  This is just further proof that you can fake/imply details in the background if you have a strong subject matter and good composition.  A fun little piece over all.
