The Indecisive Painter | Brian Gaynor Photography

The Indecisive Painter

Claude Monet once quipped: “Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.” Perhaps the painter of this rustic shed door felt the same way.

I love this! The colors look like they came straight out of a box of pastels – beautiful!

Beautiful. Now I’m trying to think of where I can paint something like that. (My husband would kill me.)

  I’m sure you can find someplace (something) to paint in these multi-colors! Thanks for the comment.

Kind of looks like a child went at it with a box of colored chalk. Very nice. 🙂

  Painting/coloring the shed would be a nice, unobtrusive way for children to experiment with art and colors. Thanks, seekraz!

What i love about this is you could think that they couldn’t make up their mind, or it was all a beautifully thought out plan of color 🙂 Perfect for spring! Nice shot!

  That’s a great point. It could either be the work of an indecisive or brilliant artist — or perhaps both!

Love the colors – and the title – both made me smile!! 🙂 Perhaps whoever painted this shed was tired of looking at drab colors, and no matter what the season is now, they’ll always have something cheerful to look at (I don’t blame them)!!

  Thank you, Holly. The shed would certainly allow for a fine visual treat throughout the year. I appreciate your feedback.

Now most people might just walk right by a door/wall like this and think, “Ah, that’s colorful (or pretty of different).” But not a photographer. We are ever vigilant, seeing the world through our cameras. Your image is an example of art creating art. Lovely.
