Painting the wall?
« on: June 20, 2013, 04:27:59 pm »

While visiting the World Press Photo 2013 exhibition in the "Old Church" in Amsterdam I noticed this little piece of wall. Unfortumately I only carried a point and shoot. What do you think?

I'm no art expert, but it does look like a lovely abstract.

The colors remind me of the Lascaux cave paintings.

The colors remind me of the Lascaux cave paintings.

Thanks for reminding me some fifty years after seeing those in person.
In this 'abstract' I helped the colors a bit by applying a split tone similar to the “golden light” recipe demonstrated by Jeff Schewe in one of the tutorials on this site. Those historic painters were on their own!

I keep thinking that wall would make a fabulous backdrop for still lives and portraiture.

Abstract? No. Moldy cheese? Yes! ;)

If Jackson Pollock's "No. 5, 1948" can pull down 140 million, you ought to be able to sell this for at least three bucks.
