I love brush work. For me, it is one of the biggest attractions of painting in oil. Today, I was scanning in some recent work, and I couldn't help but start thinking of the surface quality of the paint. I thought I'd share with you one swatch from each of the paintings. It can be a real joy to look at such thumbnail abstractions without having the complete painting on hand to remind you what the subject is. It's like enjoying a single flower plucked from the garden.
