Bagpipes, pipe organ, stove pipe, chimney pipe, smokestack, pipe wrench, pipeline, faucet.

Thanks for the suggestions, Anne!
I tried earlier in the thread to pun my way into suggesting bongs and hookahs if those resonated with anyone.

 

[Schuee]

Yes, Laika. Good thinking. I hadn’t thought of bagpipes!

Bagpipes was from Anne! Sorry for the confusion

 

[Vivien]

JennieJo - Great abstract! I like it very much!

Penny - Great idea with the "Pipeline", well done!

 

[laika]

Love that faucet, Viv! What an interesting look throughout the painting - soft and very distinct at once.

Not to worry, Laika. Thanks for the information.

Thanks, Viv. Are you home or still on holiday?

 

[laika]

Not to worry, Laika.

Good! That pipeline map was very clever, by the way

 

[Schuee]

Good! That pipeline map was very clever, by the way

Thank you very much. I try to think of something a little out of the ordinary.

 

[laika]

The stacked pipes are great, JennieJo! Thanks for sharing your process!

 

[Vivien]

Thanks, Viv. Are you home or still on holiday?

Penny - I'm home was only in Arrowtown last weekend for Waitangi Day.

Penny, very clever pipeline. You succeeded in doing something different!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Ok, Viv. I read up about the Treaty day. I hadn’t heard of it before. I think I will read about the history of New Zealand as I know woefully little about the country.

Penny - New Zealand's history is fascinating. The Waitangi Treaty is still controversal all these centuries later - it is still being challenged by many New Zealanders. The Flagpole at Waitangi is still being chopped down every so often, after Hone Hiki chopped it down in protest 100 years ago!.

 

[triss]

ZenDruid - The pipes look wonderfully strange in that landscape - great shot! Love how the aged industry plays with/against the landscape colours.

Town chimneys (with thanks to ams!). Quick acrylic & oil pastel sketch, A2.

Thank, Viv. I found an excellent site and read about Nz’s history and culture. Very interesting. You cetainly find vandals all over the world - the Flagpole is part of your history, whatever people might think of that!

I love your painting, triss. The deep reds and blues. The smoke and clouds are excellent mark-making.
