Clumsy’s Art

My artistic abilities are not even skin deep: I am as unartistic (if that’s a word) as it’s possible to be but ….. I am enjoying tweaking photos with Picasa to give simplistic hyper-coloured variants.  I should say I enjoy the outcomes, there is something that appeals to me although I can’t describe what.

I put an original and the tweaked photo below:

P1000157-2

P1000157-1

I’m not bothered if you like neither or even hate both. 

This may say more about the original but I prefer the 2nd version.  There’s a simplicity, a brightness but yet an uncovering of detail not seen in the original.

Guess that’s what appeals.

Although the colours in the second one are a bit intense it does have a certain something!

Very polite, CP. :)

If I saw bright, garish colours elsewhere I'd be turning my head away but here ... I like it as I do the reduction in complexity.

But then .... I know nothing!
