Title: Bits of Whimsy
Post by: Eric Myrvaagnes on July 30, 2021, 08:05:04 pm

I'll post here some images that aren't meant as "serious art."
I invite comments as well as images from others.

Whimsy while you work, Eric will make you smirk; No 1 disamingly leads; No 2 dares the debris to move forward, while no-3 leads to a jolt of color!

Hi Eric,

These are beautiful, and yes, these are definitely serious art. Much of the best "Street" photography is full of Whimsy.

Very interesting and also, at the same time, pleasing!
Keep them coming, Eric.

Whimsical-thought provoking, Eric. I particularly like the first and third ones.

Same.

Also, Eric, I prefer 'unserious' Art.

Thanks, Rajan.

Yes, I've decided I need to smile more.   :D

Interesting thing about abstracts and whimiscal photos is that the viewer can interpret them anyway they want, unless the intent is very obvous. I see the tar image as a kind of Mexican stand-off. One lone shining-knight leaf against all those errant bad boys.

I love to hear of interpretations that aren't the ones that I thought of myself.
