Monthly Art Prompts November 2022

[Terri]

Great thread so far! Fun stuff - love all the various interpretations of the prompts.

Pattern:

I think this was taken with a pseudo-infrared film, likely Ilford SFX - definitely a soft focus filter over a red filter.

I still don't know what the ropes are for!

All gibberish to me - know nothing about photography! That being said, what an interesting shot and excellent response for the prompt. I love it!

Brian: Great shots!
AJ: Very, very cool!

Technology-related paintings from a few years ago; both 15 x 20 cm (about 6 x 8 in), acrylics on Masonite:

I have somewhat weird aesthetics, and I do not share most people's distaste for this kind of subject matter. As far as I'm concerned, grimy industries are very much the heartbeat of civilization, and there's no need to hide them.

Alas for me, I am somewhat unusual in this taste, with the result that this sort of painting never sells!

 

[CaliAnn]

Brian: I think both are awesome! I love when an artist finds beauty, no matter what the subject.

So beautiful. I'm sure a company or one of the workers would love this. Great you are recording history!! I would like it for the drama.

 

[Jo Castillo]

CaliAnn, love the kitties and fishes. Fun.
Alabama, I can drink to that!

As I recall I used stock photos for reference - I'm the archetypal starving artist and don't get to travel much.

I don't know what the ropes are for either but it works perfectly as a "pattern."

CaliAnn, I love your technology. I'm sure it would have been on the Flintstones if texting had been around when the show was created. Your cats are delightful. Wonderful patterns on each. Your fish patterns are even more creative!

Alabama, amusing image.

Brian, good technology and pattern. Your technology paintings are very dramatic.

Gorgeous!! Are people allowed to touch this? I know I'd have a hard time holding back.

 

[ZenDruid]

Not supposed to. I was there in 2005, there were no guards or staff patrolling the site. It's very remote. Only a few other tourists besides me. I think most people would respect it.
Correction, it's actually in New Mexico. Here's a link:

Both small paintings in acrylics on Masonite, 20 x 15 cm.

Zen: That wall is incredible! How lucky you got to see it
Brian: Awesome paintings - love the one with the train!
