Waiting Brushes

I can't pretend to be a photographer like my talented sister-in-law Mindy is (see her beautiful photos, a new one every day, at the Photo Dilettante link on my sidebar), but I love how this picture turned out. I took it in the art room at Concordia earlier this week when Seth was giving my parents a tour. The art room is on the top floor of the fine arts building, and it is a lovely room full of windows on three sides. Seth has had a love for all things creative since he was a toddler, and he is in his element in the class where these paintbrushes have their home. Currently he is working on creating a clay vase that resembles a penguin with its neck stretched up.
