Paint Tube Series Reds, 6 x 6 in, Oil on Panel

See beauty in something as ordinary as two worn paint tubes clipped together and hanging in the studio. The creased metal and smudges of color tell a story of work and experimentation—marks of paintings past and those yet to come. Against the soft pastel background, the reds become unexpectedly luminous, a reminder that even the tools of art can carry their own quiet poetry.
