WBK - Inspiration, Exploration and Fun in West Berkshire

Friday

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY - ? an experiment.

Hi folks. Today is Friday.....and that means ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY. Today's effort is as much an experiment in artistic lteracy as it is to my dubious painterly skills......All will be explained later in the week. Probably next Friday.

HIDE!!!!!!!!

With electronic CCTV in every street, phone bugging and even satellite tracking of cars and individuals - There is NOWWHERE to hide anymore. No wonder the smile has been ripped from this guy's face, and he looks in a state of sheer panic!



Anyway, enough of the mystery. Here is my submission, which for once was Actually created specificaly for this weeks IF. It is watercolour and pen, on real watercolour paper - (Boy, am I pushing the boat out this time!)

This measures 12cm x 21cm, and if anybody would like it, I've put it up on E-bay....You see, If I don't it will just end up cluttering up my desk, or shelves or something. That will force me to get rid of it. May even bring me in enough to buy a new half pan of colour?. You can click on the image if you want to see a bigger version of it.

PLEASE - let me know how you think this image fits in with this weeks theme. All will be revealed later......

........Oh yes - While I'm here I'll explain the stupid experiment. I painted this on Thursday night. Before the IF title had been given. I set myself the task of posting it up, regardless of the title, and explaining WHY that was the title of the picture.

Looking through the submissions I'm not the only one that's done it am I?

  • Interesting - and I think you're quite right.

    Luckily (for us) is, that no-one wants - or have the time to - look at all those films, pictures, hear all those mobil-conversations etc. I think it's only used if there comes a crime or another thing. I think that's ok. Or do I? I'm not quite sure...
