My dear elderly neighbour called me over to show me his car. It had been in a bit of an accident and a square steel rod had gone through the rear side window. I sympathised and was told the full story but I couldn't help myself - the pattern of shapes, shadows, colours and textures was beautiful. He knows me well enough to forgive my insensity in taking a photograph. Just as well!!
I played around with the photo and came up with these images.
Now, if only I can transfer the image onto canvas with acrylic paint....
When you are an artist, you make art from what ever comes your way!
ReplyDeleteYes, art is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteyup it is gorgeous alright!!
ReplyDeleteI always think how lucky we are to see art in simple things. So many people don't see it ..... and think I'm quite daft when I point it out.
ReplyDeleteLove your Landmark series in an earlier post.
Good luck with the acrylic paint. To me they scream etchings or collagraphs. Wonderful photos - depsite the circumstances that started them off!
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem I have - creating an etching from a photograph I've taken - I'm about to post something about this on my blog - these are great images so good luck with the translation to canvas
ReplyDeleteI am currently taking an online workshop on how to digitally change and enhance images-- I hope I can do some as wonderfully has you have here.
ReplyDeleteThese are very exciting and have great energy. Lucky recipients!
