Art as they say is in the eye of the beholder. Well as I am short sighted and wear glasses I may not see things the same as others. But, to be able to start with a blank canvas and go off and see what is created is not only fun but sometimes it produces an interesting result.
Started as a portrait of someone I know, then became a portrait of someone else. Who nose who that may have been.
Now then. There are 5 rows and 4 columns. The sequence, pattern and colour arrangements are an algorithm. You work it out.
Self portrait. Motherwell Football Club are called “the Well”, so you can see where I was coming from.
Lou Reed album “Set the Twilight Reeling” had lyrics that suggested its not all black and white.
A take on that Famous 1930’s painting by Grant Wood. Now who should live in that house?
The National Lottery has made many people more wealthy and there are six number that are the most popular. One for the accountants.
The Big Apple was said to have been modelled on Glasgow and its grid system of roads. Or was that just a wee tall tale?

Forty years on from the days you could do this type of thing without being criticised. Actually it was quite a creative approach with a young Linda Lucardi. I didn’t take the photo but directed it and you have to guess how it was done.
Reminds me of the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. Actually on the Thames and about to fire up the barbecue.
“Kilroy Was Here” was a meme that became popular during WW11 and typically seen as a piece of Graffiti – a bald man with large nose peeking over a wall. Robert Kilroy-Silk is a former politician and TV personality. Somehow I mixed the two and added a cheaper textile.
Laura, probably 18 years ago. Should never have bought Head and Shoulders.

Lake Michigan towards Chicago.
Kate and Laura.
