Or how about an inversion? This might be a starting point for an etching...

"Oh look, a 'pine-corn!' " as my friend's little girl used to say!
ReplyDeleteIt is true- not a lot of info is needed to recognize an object; the Chinese Sumi-e masters knew this, the Impressionists knew this, and I have to keep reminding myself of this every time I start drawing myself into a corner by getting hung-up on detail and forgetting to step away from my page to see the whole picture. Simplify, simplify, simplify!
I probably used to say the same thing myself! I was "Zon" to my siblings. :-)
