• nailed it!

         ...and now for something completely different:

An artist friend sent a series of photos showing the remarkable work of a true craftsman-artist.  Once again the important point is made that you don't need paint brushes, paints, canvas, or fancy, soft pencils and expensive linen-rag paper in order to create.
    I have been looking at these photos for a few days now and I have yet to grab a hammer and nails. None the less, I am very inspired by this man's skill and artistry. 

( Follow pictures left to right and then down, like reading a comic strip/storyboard. Click on any photo to enlarge–especially fig. 4 to see that it appears as though no paint or colorized nails were used.)

 

 

 

I would be fascinated to hear what old Leonardo (da Vinci) would think of this shimmering new interpretation of his famous, and masterful, self-portrait (reproduced in fig. 10.)

Onward!
