Color 1 by taffy

Color 1

Our mentor group is considering focusing on color over the next week or two. While we haven't decided for sure, it was on my mind (as in "what will I ever do with the idea of color) when I noticed the sun at a perfect angle shining on the field across the street. These are markings in the artificial turf, for the various team sports that are played there across seasons.

What a marvelous and oh so colorful abstract collage. Nicely seen and done!

I know we haven't decided for sure, but you were on my mind when I decided I needed to leave my computer and head outside to take some photos while the light was so good. I only got as far as across the street when I noticed all the color. The park has been renovated for at least 4 years and I'd NEVER really noticed how cool the color and shapes were til we had the email exchange on our theme possibilities. Even if we don't go with color, this was a great boost.

Awesome, great shots, wonderful collage

So awesome - At first, I thought it was a really cool rug!

really cool collage Taffy

I really like this- it reminds me of mosaics and modern art!

I'm thinking mor dern carpets! There is lots of color out there just check out a home improvement store or house wears department bedding drapes even sheer curtains.

Isn't it strange how you talk about something new and suddenly you see or hear it! There is a law/theory about this but can't remember the name! I love that all these wonderful shapes and colours have been right outside your door and you haven't noticed them before. Great way to start our new theme of colour off. Lovely abstract collage! Fav!

Turf no longer seems to be green! I suppose each line would mean something important!
October 2nd, 2015  
very cool

Love the way you've put this together - the idea of "color" is the first thing that comes to your mind. The longer you look at this abstract, the more fascinating it becomes.

@pamknowler law of Attraction perhaps? What we are thinking about draws things to us. A really clever and creative idea to take the bits and pieces of the turf markings and collage them together

Very fine use of what's available. Serendipitous, resourceful...
October 2nd, 2015  
Fav! Fabulous concept beautifully rendered.
October 2nd, 2015  
Oh, well spotted Taffy, a terrific idea for the exercise. The colours here are vibrant, varied and almost mysterious (if one hadn't been told what they were). I too was was scratching my head about what to do, then remembered taking a shot of some coloured vertical louvres at the local AFL ground. I'll post the original in my alternative album.

So so good

Very nice compilation--looks great!
October 2nd, 2015  
So creative and colorful! Wonderful abstract collage.
October 2nd, 2015  
Super fun. I like!
October 2nd, 2015  
How clever! I thought it was carpets for a moment, until I read your comments! Great captures and collage.
October 2nd, 2015  
Just what I had in mind for colour tafffy! Now I need to find some.
October 2nd, 2015  
What a great idea, an original and effective collage.
October 2nd, 2015  
Very creative, love how you have put them all together. It reminds me of a board game our girls had when they were little. Each person was given a series of tiles and you had to put them together to make a continuous road across a board.

Ingenious, and definitely colourful. Well done you for noticing.
October 2nd, 2015  
What a great abstract!

Sam
This looks like a rug in my house!
October 2nd, 2015  
Always finding new "views" when I have a picture on my mind from 365.
October 2nd, 2015  
This is fab wit the different colors and lines and shapes!
October 2nd, 2015  
This is lovely with all the different lines and colours. I'm trying to work out what games they could be for, but I'm stumped with the zig zag one!
October 3rd, 2015  
Very clever. I thought it was shots of an abstract design on a rug until I read your description.

All of these images are strong in their own right and have the benefit of texture. They would make a great print panel.

@888rachel I'll have to go out and see if I can figure it out. It may have been the corner of a base and the baseline for softball/baseball.
October 4th, 2015  
What a great find. Well spotted and put together.
October 5th, 2015  
What strikes me, after how nicely the patterns work together, is that the muted colors are perfectly suited to one another. Lovely patchwork, Taffy!
October 7th, 2015  
Oh Taffy, this is so much fun. Hope I can get myself on the assignment before the time is up!
