The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round Seven. The Theme is Rust!

in #mundaneart7 years ago

Rust, we fight against it, sand it off, paint over it and fret about its effects. This time though we're searching for the beauty in it and we shall create another mesmerizing virtual art gallery of rust as art! 

Here's a Reminder of The Galleries That You've Already Helped Create!

 

1.)Art Exhibit of Manhole Covers!

2.) Your Photographs of Streets!

3.) Damaged Asphalt Gallery 

4.)Tree Bark Virtual Gallery

5.)Stones

6.) Grass (I'll be creating the gallery for this one and announcing the winners as soon as I get back from Tenerife as I'm working from my phone right now!) 

Rust as Art!

I got this idea from a post by @vee2180 She took a photograph of a rusted out steel pipe and it caught my attention and admiration!  "Old Iron Tube, Still Pretty"

Do you mind that I enjoyed the title more than the photo itself?
Great combo though, well done :)

I guess if we all liked exactly the same things, the world would soon run out of variety.

I love the metal very much, Good luck!!

This is a very nice entry!

This is my favorite entry. But it should be viewed full size!

I appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to view the full render of the photo I do think that it is better viewed at a 1:1 best rather than a downscale as a thumbnail image. :)

Oh, sure. I did see your post about it before when you posted it.

Here's my entry: detail of a rusted bolt on a pier

That's a great entry to the contest. Thanks!

Oh! I love rust photos!

Ok. How about these old rusty stoves. I love how each one is a different color of rust!

You found something unique here!

Thanks! I thought they were pretty cool!

Thanks fo entering. Art is very personal but a minimalistic approach could help here as we're looking for rust as art and not rusty objects. Check this sample using your same photo.

If you could submit something like that in higher definition it could have a worthy place in our gallery. Hope this helps. :)
