THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

i generally prefer to avoid the 'telling' part of show and tell, but i will say that all of these images were made with a camera phone and the remnants of paints and stains in a few old utility buckets and have not been altered, enhanced, or digitally fiddled with. i love their painterly quality and expressiveness, as well as their paint bucket provenance. i am more than a little obsessed with accidental, or maybe incidental, art; textures, layers, grime, and noise.
