Description
My wife's Aunt Ila Jean had rested her moist broom along a wall of an outdoor shed. She caught me taking a photo of it. "Oh no, not my old broom!" she exclaimed. She knew I was going to make a painting of it. She was very pleased with the end result however.

Truly you must have the patience of a Saint! Such wonderful detail!
Monte Toon replied:
This painting was all about the texture of the straw bristles. I use the term "negative painting" to identify this method of painting that defines the area around the object rather than painting the object. The dark areas allow the lighter areas to become bristles. Look closely at some of the areas with more contrast, you can see how the bristles are defined. And yes, this does take considerable time to paint when using this method.
