Bog Cotton

an image from the bog, in Co.Mayo,Ireland, cropped and sharpened. The swirly patterns of the grasses where this bog cotton grows reminded me of a Jackson Pollock painting.

Lovely!

Beautiful intertwined stems with the cotton standing out. And it's natrual in two ways, nature and a plant that makes a natural material. But I can only V once. :)

The Pollock association is not bad, also just a carpet comes to mind.

Nature has it all. And this picture proofs it Look through your eyelashes from a distance and it makes a very nice abstract.

It would make a great painting. It's a classic tangle of line and light.
