Wall Art

                           

"What do you see in this painting?" The art teacher asked and looked around his class.

"I see the twilight sky in hues that I adore!" quickly summed Miss Ceethruit.

In her rich thick accent, Madame-who-wore-her-scarf-a-hundred- different-ways, added, "Ah, for me, it feels like crushed velvet as I drag my hand across it."

"No, no, no! I see murky waters that call me not to swim, I prefer to walk on the sidewalk, that it could also be." Everyone looked at Mr. Concrete who never cracked a smile.

The art teacher asked Rosie to share her point of view, she sweetly replied, "This art inspires me, I wish it were my garden wall that I might grow against it." Everyone rolled their eyes except Mr. Concrete, who thought he stood a chance; he wished she might grow to like him.

"I see a storming sky, full of movement, it seems to soar, swell, and pour sadness." Miss. Chat Noir, often purred around the art teacher’s leg.

The grudge girl in the corner, who seem to wear only black simply said, "Nature’s graffiti." No coloring in her words, it is what it is and that’s it!

  2. so many flavors for us to choose from !

  3. Just like the clouds…if you look long enough you start seeing all sorts of shapes.
    Take care,

  4. I am drawn to old buildings and crumbling walls, too. I’ll often stop to photograph them as a whole or reach out to touch a part of the surface. Every relic has a history or a story behind the layers of paint and rust. And history is retold from many different vantage points.

  5. How wonderfully creative, Corey! I especially liked “Mr.Concrete” who never “cracks” a smile. You made me smile reading this!

  6. Oh dear, I saw a concrete wall first…but then I looked closer and saw bushman paintings with a ram in the top right corner…maybe there is still hope!

  7. I see time and the richness of aging!

  8. Sometimes we see more by looking at things through our hearts rather than our eyes… You capture this beautifully in your stories…!

  9. I saw the remains of ash, wetted down and then dried, clinging to a window.

  10. how wonderful. I’m just trying to catch up on all of the posts in one message. I love the photos. You’ve got some cute darlings you have visited lately. 🙂 Yummy! Now I’m hungry and really need to eat breakfast. 🙂

  11. Ms. Concrete me sometimes has trouble seeing the potetial in things…and people. Thanks for the reminder and I will try more to see behind the concrete look of things.

  12. I see a galloping stallion in the desert sand.

  13. I see the surface of a pond…the trees over head reflected in it.
    I love all of the different perceptions. =)

  14. i love the subtle textures and thoughts of time passing this wall. just to be a fly on it for a day… wouldn’t that be informative?
