"Subtract"

I've recently subtracted from one of my older paintings (seen above, left) which resulted in the image you see directly below it.

(With a few new digital additions, as well - click on the image for a closer view.)

As inspired by Illustration Friday's topic, "Subtract."

And speaking of addition and subtraction, I add here several mathematically beautiful things:

1. "A Head With a Heart"

2. Adding one vegetable garden to the White House. "Michelle Obama will begin digging up a patch of the South Lawn on Friday to plant a vegetable garden, the first at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt's victory garden in World War II." - Marian Burros, March 19, 2009, NYTimes

3. Stumbling across Bob Dylan's Love Minus Zero/NoLimit on YouTube (full [slightly flawed] lyrics here.)

"My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire."
