Something Splattered

Beautifully battered,
Smooth, not tattered,
Imagery splattered.

Friday Photo
Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a
photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

After the answer is guessed, I will post a second,
non-abstract photo...
and just in case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -

they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.
Jeff wins for three correct answers that weren't THE one
but which described the object as well.
I could've made you all guess more for my personal fun,
but the fact that it's a MOSAIC seems hard to tell.

I'm thinking a photo of a portrait. Do we have to be specific? Was this taken in an art gallery?
ReplyDeletePortrait/Painting would be a specific enough answer, but it isn't the right one. And, no, this picture was not taken at an art gallery, but some art galleries have these there.
DeleteCould Wednesday's word Obnubilate
ReplyDeletebe an allusion to indicate
this photo's natural state?
I don't know why
but it looks like the sky
Whispy clouds way up high
morphing shapes of the human mind
as they breeze
quietly by
'Tis not the sky
Deletebut I know why
it looks that way...
I just can't say.
:)
You're both close, but 'staring in the wrong direction' in a manner of speaking... Also, the answer I'm looking for has to do with how the object was made more than what the final result looks like...
Ice? Snow? Clouds? Am I running out of guesses? Am I on the right track?
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, there is no guess limit on my blog... not yet at least. :)
DeleteSecondly... no... it is not ice, snow, clouds, or cotton candy. :( Hmmmm... pondering the next hint...
Looking up is wrong
ReplyDeleteSo is looking around
Maybe if we cast our eyes down?
I can't imagine the colors
or the shapes
but another image my mind creates
that might be in the right direction
is the image of a watery reflection
or this photo needs a little more inspection.
Now I don't know to say if you're right or not close enough... for now I'm going to say you didn't give the right answer, but if no one else gets it I will accept this.
DeleteIt is an item created to depict the sea... but I wrote the rhyme trying to get you all to figure out the name of the item / way that they created 'the ocean'.
a flower?
ReplyDeleteIt's not a flower... see my answer to Jeff above. He is semi-correct in saying it looks like water. :)
DeleteSome kind of floor mural? Or tiling?
ReplyDeleteOk, you've now said three answers that describe it without giving the answer I was thinking of, so... you win! It's a wall mural mosaic of the sea. :)
DeleteI never would have got that one. Well played.
