What a great comment !....a SuperNova Blob, perhaps ?.....I just found another similar Yellow Blob today in a parking lot 10 miles from this one, which I will upload for entertainment purposes...

Found objects are great fun. Dumpsters are fun, too.

Excellent comment !.. an old saying sums it up - One man’s trash is another’s treasure...I found a mannequin in a dumpster and glued many “RoadKill” found objects on it to create my treasure called Dumpster Diva on FAA..tons of fun !

Who would have thought a ‘splattered blob’ could be so beautiful? Bravo!
Douglas Fromm replied:
I appreciate your compliment.....most blobs are just blobby and boring, but this one was intriguing !

Thank you for this positive compliment....this was captured in a parking lot on Highway 9, it was just Too Cool to pass up !....

LOVE IT! All of the intricate layers of dribbling and drooling paint dried within the blob form...and the blob on the textured background. Most of us would have walked by and missed all that beauty. Great eye!
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you !...I am not sure which eye is my Great Eye, I have been walking across parking lots for years with one eye watching the pavement, and the other watching for traffic !

Well done Douglas, nuclear comes to mind and also, defines abstract art. Got my attention. Mike
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks for the Nuclear compliment, Mike....it would be interesting to see what would happen if yellow paint went into an Atom Smasher !
