Artful Closure

Not colorful.

Not extravagant.

Rustic, weathered, appealing,

artful.

Blue Wall #4

Something about

the condition

of the paint

draws the eye.

And

the shades of blue,

with a wedge of clear blue sky

rakishly adorning an upper corner;

then

the lines and the shadows,

especially all of those

straight, parallel lines

crowned by the single

curving line of the roof,

foreshadowed in miniature

by the vent-cap

just below the roof line...

plus

the three louvered vents

leaning into the frame

at opposing angles...

and the corner

formed by the two walls

coming together -

a focal point

that calls attention to itself.

Pleasing.

Blue Wall #2

Besides the wonderful effects of the peeling paint,

and the lines of the boards themselves,

and the little triangles created by the eaves in the upper left,

my favorite thing is the shadow of the overhead power line...

Blue Wall #1

Well.

I was briefly addicted

to this amazing blue building.

I took WAY too many pictures of it.

So,

my dear "readers" -

welcome to the "Blue Wall" series!
