Arty Heart 1

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

In my last post, I promised a series, yet have done nothing with it. My apologies. Here’s the first installment of Arty Heart. Enjoy.

Now, I am by no means calling myself an artist, but this first piece I’m going to share with you is a picture I took in Paris. I’m completely obsessed with it.

Here it is:

So, what are you first thoughts? Probably ‘what in the world is this?”

Here are my thoughts behind it: I remember staring at this apartment building for awhile just thinking how cool it looked and wanting to meet the people that lived there. It looks like a massive quilt where each apartment window is a patch.

I love, love, love how each window represents someone so different and that can be seen through the variety of colors on the window coverings. It just reminds me that even in such a confined space, there is still such variety.

Now, the picture would be different if I zoomed in on only a few windows, but by looking at the entire building, the entire picture, and seeing all the little things that make it up, it brings a much cooler concept.

Thoughts my little potential arty hearts?
