Broken Mossy Brick

I’ve been wanting to paint a brick since I saw Odd Nerdrum’s painting of one. I recently also saw a great painting of a brick by William Wray, whose work I’ve found inspirational.

This was really fun to paint. I may have to do it again.

Now who would’ve thought a mossy brick could make a great painting? I love the moss, you’ve captured beautiful colours in it.

Hey, I’m not sure that I don’t like your brick better than the ones you referenced. The broken edge, the moss — I don’t know. I love this!
