Is it by accident or intention?
That a casually placed pot sprouting a twisted vine creates a piece of art?
Or that a hastily painted donkey shoe
Pops when nailed in blue and framed in white?
That boats drying on a window sill
are art within art?
And a broken pot artistically sitting on a stone wall
Draws you to sit next to it and dream...
...of terracotta days and a table for two...
Is it by accident or intention...
That a simple drip can be so alluring?
For the love of the art of accidental art...
Long may it flourish and thrive!

DeleteEvery image a delight. These happy accidents do happen all around us, if only we take the time to observe. Lovely post. thank you. ox, Gina
ReplyDeleteThank you Gina - you are so right... we just need to take a moment and look around us... art is everywhere. Funnily enough I see it on holiday but not often at home - but I am learning to slow down and just breathe in all that's around me. Have a lovely weekend F x
DeleteWhat a beautifully done post. So much so that I might have to 'copy' you one day if you don't mind and see what shots of accidental art I have from our travels in Greece. Hope you are doing well. Love your posts, so keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie and Joel - of course you must - I would love to see your accidental art - maybe we will start a regularly Accidental art movement and invite bloggers to participate... now there's food for thought. Looking forward to your post. Cold in Sydney - but sunny - and as always dreaming of Aegean islands! Roll on 2015! F xx
