This is the underside of a yacht hull. I think it is a fascinating combination of colours. The primer orange has been exposed with the sanding and makes a bright eye-catching focus tempered by the plummy greys and lichen green...

This photo would have made a good quiz: What is this a photograph of? I'd never have guessed a yacht's hull. At first glance, I thought it was a photo taken by a space probe of an outer planet's atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like a seascape at dark.
ReplyDeletejust say it's a Banksy and it could well be worth more than the yacht itself katherine
ReplyDeleteIt looks like part of a Whistler painting!
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told me it was a yacht's hull, I would have defintely been thinking - abstract art - perhaps an urban horizon with a wintry sky above - rising out of the urban mist. I have always believed that we can find "art" in many places and no "art" really exists without onlookers.
ReplyDeleteI would have said sun setting in the river's shadows
ReplyDelete...and Katherine, I LOVE the way you think...seeing the beauty in everything.

WOW. What an amazing artistic bunch you are! Shall I do another one one time?
ReplyDeleteMost definitely, do another!
ReplyDeleteI thought this was an abstract painting at first...
See before I read the blurb I would have bought this and hung it on my wall. Looks like sunrise on the water. Kind of a misty day too.
ReplyDeleteI would have said that the orange / red is the old antifouling paint and the black is the new colour that the skipper has chosen. The boat has obviously not been out of the water for a while because the black top coat has done what all antifouling paint does - which is to slowly leach away - thus exposing the old coats of paint.
