Title: “Fishing Weights”
Dimensions: 5″x5″
Medium: Oil

An acquaintance once asked “What inspires you?” I had a difficult time answering the question because so many things do. I replied “Everything from a squeeze of toothpaste to watching the sun set.” and then went on to provide a few other examples.

In this case; I liked the mass/weight, shape and soft texture of the lead fishing weights. I played around with them a little bit before settling on this simple composition. I noticed there was a dark point exactly at the intersection of the two weights and thought about this piece as a geometric example.

Please contact me if you are interested.
