It’s abstract. But is it art?

003 g lilies

There is no abstract art.  You must always start with something.
Afterward you can remove all reality.
– Pablo Picasso

Debbie at Travel with intent gives the quote and an image, and if inspiration strikes there will be more photos here.

I used the Photoscape program and then edited the image with the Lunapic editor  (https://www298.lunapic.com/editor/ ) which has an option to render the photo you upload in the style of a particular artist.  I don’t think Picasso is really all that good and typical but this possibly because he had such different styles but I stuck with it anyway because it is his quote.  Then I went back to Photoscape and used an artistic effect, swirl in both cases (the effect is different because the lilies were already in a collage when I started out) and tweaked the colour a bit in the second.

Somebody stop me I could play around like this for hours and hours!

Pedestrian ways

A few days ago I went to town to do some shopping.  At first, there is the walkway from the parking garage to the pedestrian shopping street.

Put trash in its place!

18 27a

The island of Krk.  In front of Croatia in the Adriatic Sea.  In front of garbage containers. But even that is picturesque. And what time to have a photo of Croatia who later today will play France for the football (soccer) world championship in their first world cup final ever [edit: they didn’t win, but they were in the final!]

An equally incongruous place for a garbage container, in the old southern cemetery in Munich.

Not an odd location but an odd inscription: the town’s finest.

Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street

Just to round off this rubbish collection, here is Oscar the Grouch who lives in a garbage can on Sesame Street.

Little dwarf sh**ing

A fairly large – as dwarves go – dwarf sitting in the woods and … yes, he is doing exactly what you think he is doing.  Just look at his contented smile!

 

For One Word Sunday: dwarf.
