Suddenly when I select Paint/Erase I get erase but no brush of any kind. Did I somehow change a setting of some kind?

Hi Brian.
Thanks for posting the screenshot. Looks like you found the smudge tool at the end of the brush settings: so instead of brush/erase, the tool becomes smudge/erase. I had no idea that was there.
To get back to the brushes you want:
1. Tap 'Smudge' to switch from Erase to Brush Smudge.
2. Tap 'Brush Smudge' to see all your brushes.
3. Select a brush that isn't in the Smudge category.
4. Paint as normal.
Hope this helps. If anything's unclear, just post back and I'll put up a screenshot or two.
