A walk in a nearby industrial park today gave me an image I wanted to use to learn the application of photo textures. The gallery images show (apart from the textures) the images I used. The original image I shot was from the sidewalk and contained only one paint spot. A painting that I’ve had in my head for weeks ever since seeing it at the MFA in Boston was by Adolph Gottlieb and, as a consequence, I’ve been noticing circles in my every day life on a regular basis. The last image I took while at the YMCA in Franklin, Ma. It is a wall game that lights up and buzzes (and annoys the stuffing out of me as I walk endlessly around the indoor track above it) but it is often used by small children who love it, so it’s not all bad!
I am going to continue to work on versions of this to include the blue background of the YMCA game. Maybe it shall be yet another circle of that color or perhaps it shall come via a texture I have not yet discovered.
