a feeble attempt
at verisimilitude….
feeling pinched
“Oh, well” - 6 x 6” - Ink Brush
I love that word—the feel of it on my tongue, and the sound of it—verisimilitude. I first came across it when studying Chinese painting. It means an ‘exact likeness.’ In China, practiced painters viewed verisimilitude as being somewhat crude or even rude, preferring instead to capture individual essence or quality of character when rendering a portrait. This could be a portrait of a person or an animal or a place, just about anything.
Looks like here I did capture something, but I confess that wasn’t my intention. Maybe the brush just took over! Just goes to show me, I can’t always be in charge!😆
