| Original Herringbone Watercolor |
Herringbone Geology could only have been created with Photoshop
®, the new power tool in my lifelong learning toolbox.
Until a few months ago, I had been using Photoshop
® to document and upload art to the
nanoscapes and
small friends websites, and for entries for exhibitions and contests. I wish I could remember why I decided to fool around with images, but I can't, and I will celebrate the happy accident forever.
Herringbone Geology began as the tiny 5x7-inch original watercolor above. I experimented and created many different colored images, and tried,unsuccessfully to work out patchwork designs that I liked.

BREAKTHROUGH. I took a single deep purple block, duplicated it, horizontally and vertically flipped it, and created a new single block. Using the language of quilters, I "pieced" some blocks together to create Herringbone Geology.
An 18x 24 inch Herringbone Geology print on fine art paper made with archival ink is available at
nanoscapes. Contact
