Hello fellow bloggers, something different from me today. I’m at an Art Gallery, and have a prompt to tease you with.
It must be truly inspirational when I come away from Kelvingrave Art Gallery and Museum with a prompt challenge for everyone. I don’t intend to make this a regular occurrence, but im not going to say I’ll never do another prompt. So what was so special that got my attention? A sculpture where the artist indicated he wanted us to form our own ideas. So, I’m opening up the challenge to you … what does his sculpture say to you?
I’m not used to hosting a prompt, but might as well give it a go. I’m giving free rein in terms of what to produce, but I am looking forward to seeing the delights you come up with. Please provide a pingback to my post and I’ll share a follow-up with everyone’s work on 24th July, so if you can get your responses/ideas to me by 1800hrs BST on Sunday 23rd July.
Just in case you need more encouragement, here’s a virtual coffee and fruit scone.
Make sure you get the follow up post by signing up to my blog below.
Looked like a dog but then more like a lion? Since the sculptor has left it our imagination I would call it a big puppy 😊.
I saw the lion too 🙂
Curious what the sculptor thought that was ?
I thought a dog too!!
Thanks Wynne
I can’t make it out! Any suggestions?
Sorry Sadje – as I mentioned, responding to Deb, I wasn’t able to walk around it to see it from the back etc – but I saw a couple of animals
Oh, I see.
Maybe the artist didn’t know what it was but didn’t want to admit it
Lol! That very possibly could be true.
Je vois un 🎹 avec une tête de 🐶 🫢
c’est interessant 🙂 – je vais revoir – peut-etre il y a un 🎹
I think I would need to walk around the sculpture fully – many, many times actually, before my brain kicked in enough to name it and why. Interesting that he titled it “Tiptoe”. Could that be a clue to his intent given his view that the piece needs no explanation?
It was cordoned off, Deb. So im afraid that wasn’t possible, or I’d have taken more images. And I guess, since I’ve challenged others, I need to do something too … but I do have a couple of ideas
Oh I understand completely not being able to get more photos- which actually, both had I been there in person but also just considering it now, is sort of frustrating when you have an artist and a presentation that highlights “no need for explanation” and then you are limited in your ability to actually see the piece and make your own conclusions 🙂
I hadn’t thought that deeply, Deb. Thanks for highlighting it 😁
Wish I had time…. sounds like fun
Something a little bit different
Nice blog post Brenda. I think I lost the meaning of this blog because I got distracted with the coffee and buns placed on that table visible in this blog. Also, it seems you had a great time at the museum, that’s nice and I haven’t been in a museum every in my life but one day is one day right?🔥
You can do virtual tours with me 😁
😂😂😂Really???
Why not 😁
And the coffee treat was to inspire you to respond to the sculpture image … but coffee inspires me too. And yes, I did have a great day. I’m just home
intriguing, Brenda.
all that came to my mind was the word…. “balance” 🙃
lol, I know it sounds weird😂
glad you enjoyed this adventure 😉
it seems to be provoking a range of diverse ideas – I saw a lion and an elephant
got us thinking here😋
lovely how and what individuals see.
a wonderful prompt, Brenda 🤍
(I’m going to be looking for the lion and elephant 😁)
look at the reflection on the table
In all honestly… the reflection on the table looks like a person to me…🙃😁
I’ll need to have a look on the bigger screen
God knows what that is!!
Must be made by artist in hurry, while cleaning his room to avoid mom’s wrath
🤣🤣🤣
Hadn’t thought of that
Because it’s that!
And how are you?
Handsome since day 1 without an inch of doubt
how are you ma’am
how’s your wrist?
Glad you’re well … and handsome
I’m good. Realising that you need to be fit to explore … my hips are sore with all the walking and stairs, and my arms are sore with all the photographs I took yesterday. But my wrist is good. The doctors were happy with it yesterday. Now I really just need to let the tendons etc recover and then strengthen the muscles. But its good
Eat good
And do some light workout
Power!!!!!
Yep.
Been doing stretches … but can only be gentle with my wrist
Yeah!!!
Take care
👍🏻
👍🏼
piano Thats what it says to me.
You’re the second person to see a piano
A boat but I think I am biased because I am on a ferry boat now!
Oh are you going somewhere nice?
Coming back from the tiny island of Ponza to Rome and then tomorrow back to Brussels. End of holidays, unfortunately 😏
I hope you have had a good holiday and a chance to relax
I had besides the fact that mosquitoes ate me up!!
Oh no. not pleasant 😕
Ummmm, I got nothing for this one!
Thats OK 😁
