Oops! I did one twice. Here is number 3.

Now that's my type of image.

I thought you might like the concept.;-)

I find there is a Pollock feel to them with the random
application/placing
and mix of color.
Bravely daring to continue the thread .. I believe the work and the
photos
there of represent a subset of pointillism. I might go farther and
call the
subset textured chaotic pointillism. ;-)
I also suspect much of the impact of this vast gum sculpture doesn't
translate well to a photo, much (as I've heard) the full impact of
Pollock #2
doesn't get captured by photos. I will say that Savageduck #2 [wink]
captures some of that vastness. :-)

;-)

Here is a section of Pollock #2:

...and a section of said SD #2:

I think SD #2 is Pollock by way of Monet.
I looked up Pollock #2, and while I never saw it in person, to me it's
just paint spatters. It would be a nice way to break up a big expanse of
a plain wall, but I don't see the "excitement" in it. (I may not know
art, but I know what I like!)
I think SD #2 falls short when you can't see the texture of it. Or
experience the bio-hazard.


There is a lot of art that does not translate into photographs. One
example that I feel strongly about is the Baptistry Doors, in Florence.
I had looked at tons of photos of them, and could never understand what
the big deal was. I was fortunate enough to see the originals on a trip
to Florence. I stood looking at them for quite a while, while feeling
emotional. No photographic reproduction has even come close to evoking a
spiritual feeling.
