Subtract-Illustration Friday


This didn't come out how I envisioned,
but sometimes art will just take its own course.

Brain Tree
5"x7" watercolor and ink

  1. I get it. I thought it was something different at first and then after looking at it saw the true meaning and debth of the art it self. To me it looked like a brain but not quite.

  2. Yeah, thats why it didn't turn out how I envisioned. I changed the name from Apple Tree to Brain Tree, it suits the piece better. Thanks for looking!

  3. Yeah--the title helps a lot. I was looking at it, and instead of it being a tree OUT in space, it was a tree imbedded in some kind of strata--yeah, brain works fine, both as a metaphor and as an image. We have things like trees growing in our brains, reaching out, fruiting, etc. Interesting picture!

  4. looks awesome though. now it is like its own entity you know. like a separate being.

  5. Trees keep growing, just like brains.
    They grow older. They grow apples, but they also let them go. I love that.
