What are you looking at? Are the paintbrushes in the foreground part of the over all painting, or are they in the same dimension as the paintbrush, which appears to be painting the scene, at the top right hand side of the piece?

   What one may assume are hills full of trees in the background might well be just a brush stand instead of a stand of trees. The real clue comes from the four brushes on the lower right side of the painting, but we believe what our eyes tell us. As the old saying states not everything is always, as it seems.

   From a philosophical standpoint, so often we fail to care for our tools and end up destroying them through our neglect, just as we regularly have a very unhealthy disrespect for our environment. Our planet is the only medium we have from which to sustain life, as we know it. Having said that it is also my philosophy that from destruction comes creation and one has to ask which is which?
