I wracked my brain ever since getting the list - abstract? All I could think of was abstract art and taking a picture of a picture doesn't seem like the point of this project. FINALLY! I remembered the "Art You Can Sit On" collection of twenty-two benches our city has so proudly displayed. You will probably see more of these through the year.
"voodoo chili" by Doug Warnock is a tile and glass mosaic bench in the contour of a young woman. I brushed off most of the snow but couldn't dislodge all the ice. I thought the shadows were a nice touch. Sorry my footprints interfered. I didn't think of it soon enough.
I really like this , I like the composition you chose.
ReplyDeleteHello!

Good luck with the challenge!

I think it's a great representation of the theme!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's "chili" in more than name only. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteFootprints don't interfere--they add context.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective on this shot!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this...very fun colors, BUT, don't think I will be sitting there until that snow melts! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks kind of like a woman upside down sorta. great eye on the abstract and getting that out of the way
ReplyDeleteI like the dusting (or crusting?) of snow on top of the bench and the less than perfect surface of snow on the ground. It is a great idea for the theme - you're off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a few people started with the theme "abstract". Are you planning on working the theme list in order? That's ambitious!
Well, you are starting out day one with #1 on the list. I tend to jump around one the list and hope I touch all of the subjects some time in the year. It frees my thinking processes.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will certainly bring this art work to our attention during the year. It is very creative....
Interesting abstract bench!! It will be fun to see some more of the benches throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteI had a stomach ache like that once. Love the image.

Interesting bench, although it doesn't look very "sit-able". The shadows and footprints help add depth. Good shot.
ReplyDeleteNice use of the theme "abstract!"
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to follow the list in order. I've found that that doesn't allow for the wonderful, serendipitous findings that aren't today's theme. I just wanted to get some of the more difficult ones done first so I'm not scrambling at the end of the year.
interesting abstraction, nice light and shadows. don't think its very comfortable though....

This is a bench??? How cool! Though I'm not sure how comfortable I would feel sitting on "art." ;-)
ReplyDeleteI like the shadow shapes. Great shot for a tricky theme.
