Inky things...

Sometimes I am not the best at cleaning up around me in the studio.  I get distracted, start something new or just dash off to do some other part of life.

And sometimes life offers little gifts for these moments of failing to pay attention and failing to be a tidy person.

These shots are the remnants of ink/paint left drying in plastic containers. Fortunately the brush was a rough and ready oldie and didn't suffer further damage; but I got to enjoy the remarkable transition from wet to dry; from liquid to solid and then what remained.

  2. Just shows - it doesn't pay to be too tidy. I always knew it!
    In future I will look more closely at all those dried paint pots and small untidinesses for creative possibilities ...

  4. So beautiful. It makes me want to pour some ink into a container and leave it just to see what happens. Gorgeous photos.
