The art of accidental art

Is it by accident or intention?
That a casually placed pot sprouting a twisted vine creates a piece of art?

Or that a hastily painted donkey shoe
Pops when nailed in blue and framed in white?

That boats drying on a window sill
are art within art?

And a broken pot artistically sitting on a stone wall
Draws you to sit next to it and dream…

…of terracotta days and a table for two…

…and pet rocks resting,
nestled into a wall. 
 

Is it by accident or intention…
That a simple drip can be so alluring?

For the love of the art of accidental art…
Long may it flourish and thrive!

    What a beautifully done post. So much so that I might have to 'copy' you one day if you don't mind and see what shots of accidental art I have from our travels in Greece. Hope you are doing well. Love your posts, so keep them coming.

    Thank you Gina – you are so right… we just need to take a moment and look around us… art is everywhere. Funnily enough I see it on holiday but not often at home – but I am learning to slow down and just breathe in all that's around me. Have a lovely weekend F x

    Thank you Jackie and Joel – of course you must – I would love to see your accidental art – maybe we will start a regularly Accidental art movement and invite bloggers to participate… now there's food for thought. Looking forward to your post. Cold in Sydney – but sunny – and as always dreaming of Aegean islands! Roll on 2015! F xx
