Patchwork built

It was hard to know if this pattern was the result of someone testing out new color schemes or some graffiti-censoring. (Given the state of the building, I’d guess the latter is more likely.) But either way, I liked how it looked.

    That would be a great way to paint external walls!

      Is so obvious. Now that you mention it! It must be some kind of alien hieroglyphics. This particular one says, “Watch the photographers! They love this crap.”

      (We went to the space alien museum in Roswell – it was very, very strange. But popular: the man at the front desk told me they get 6,000 visitors EVERY MONTH.)

        Written so spontaneously, you make me laugh a lot, Melinda, deserving more than a LOL! 🙂 Somewhere out there in space, our sick sense of humors collide and have fantastic fun.

        Thanks, John. I have a (strong) tendency to crack myself up, and it’s nice to have a kindred soul!

        My family, if I were to share your comment with them, would say, “Please don’t encourage her.”

    Let’s be generous and call it abstract art! Actually they work well together, those colours.

      Are you saying that you DON’T think it’s alien hieroglyphics? Or that it’s art and hieroglyphics?

      I like the colors, too. My favorite part is the way you can see the marks of the paint roller on the lighter pink. It’s sort of endearing, to think about someone out there rolling pink paint over cracked stucco.

    Your color photos are great. This would not have looked as good in grey tones. Sometimes ‘art’ just happens, but it takes the artist to capture it.
