In the Key of Red

With the proliferation and abundance of graphic design and signage, there are often opportunities for abstract art in commonplace areas.  This was a Remax sign in Grimsby that had a bit of wear and tear from weather.  The proportions of the black shapes in the top figure make me think of piano keys, so this theme was in my mind as I composed the images.  Mostly I prefer to have even light without shadows to work with the textures and colours and yet the third image shows that shadows can create visual appeal and interest.  

Whimsy

Here's the Whimsy Portfolio on Redbubble.  It includes familiar shapes such as stars, trees, angel wings, sunsets and waves all found in urban grunge - on trucks, recycle bins, chair upholstery, dumpsters, building walls and other urban areas.
