In this experiment I was working from a photo of a rusty gear (I love rusty photos!) and seeing if I could come up with something sort of abstract feeling (meaning unidentifiable) based roughly on the photo. I think it needs a little work, but it's an interesting start.I'm playing with the Paint Party ladies again today, so be sure and visit their sites to see some truly talented artists.
I think it's great. Love the look. Thanks for sharing.

I love rusty machinery photos. And gleaming non-rusty machinery photos. What a great way to practice using watercolors.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Well done!! I think your rendition is so much more interesting than the original!
ReplyDeleteI agree - it's off to an interesting start... and I love the limited palette you're using :)

ReplyDeleteCool idea. And great job carrying it out. I like the colors you chose. And the shapes make an interesting painting.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I love the abstract feel to it. I'm a big fan of rust, too. Something about all of those different shades of color. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you chose to make the rust; especially the blue/green shadows. Nice!
ReplyDeleteCool images, both of them in their own right.
ReplyDeleteJust had a look at the 365 project link you left at my cyberhome. Amazing work, such crisp photographs. Awesome takes, wonderful composition and colours. Mine are more an every-day type of pics, featuring snippets of our daily lives. :)
