Break time in my studio, a time to reflect...

Peter, I mourned the loss of my favourite go-to  brushes when their useful life inevitably came to an end, particularly when using on abrasive canvas. New replacement brushes always needed breaking in until they in turn became those favourite go-to brushes.

Keith,
I know that awkwardness well. Every brush gains it’s own signature. And all are apart of the artist.

Unlike a painter's brush, a camera never adjusts to the photographer's style. With time, the photographer may get more familiar with the camera's quirks, but the camera never changes. An artist's brush is much more personal.

Thanks for sharing that image, Peter.

Hi Eric

You bet, and thanks very much. The sad part is all brushes start out as strangers, then become great friends and then fade away into the night.
