As you will observe, this time I am treating you to a night shot - this is purely and simply in the interests of variety only, and has no special significance.
You might like to compare the two and note the development of my art - or maybe not. As my title indicates, though, it has occurred to me that this could become quite a lucrative cottage industry. I'm thinking along the lines of those jig-saw mats you can buy which allow you to roll up your unfinished puzzle to store it - or to take it on holiday with you, should you feel so inclined. How about that? A bit of cottage land art, roll it up in an industrial version of the mat and flog it at a car boot sale? What think you friends?
One motive behind all this is a developing passion for the work of a young artist, Ingrid Calame, rapidly coming into prominence with an art based on tracing the minutiae of imperfections, cracks, bobbles, chips, inscriptions, marks of all sorts on the ground. All sorts of ground. It struck me that it's a land art of sorts, even if not advertised as such. Here is an image of one of her works.

You are a trend setter my friend.
This is truly fun art.
I don't know about the travel pack art idea though. I am just too old fashioned for that I guess.
I like your concept... If you move or go on vacation take it with you.

I will second wha TechnoBabe has said. Trend setter indeed!
you've got the makings of a great idea there! give it a shot i say!!!
Your land art has refined since 2009, judging by your photo from that time:-)
Rather than taking it with me I would prefer to seek fresh forms;-)
Great concept, Dave.
I like the idea of portable art, it would be a great resource for organisations having stalls at lots of summer festivals...
A novel idea !
Awesome! Your land art is superb in the land of art!
I must agree, great concept Dave!
Very nice, Dave.
Pamela
interesting art piece.. thanks for sharing this ~
Rad, I love land art. I think it's the original form of human expression from petroglyphs to modern canvas.
Art is a creation of beauty out of ordinary things. You've done well, Dave, to zero in on an ordinary paved walkway. You converted it to be an object of great artistry. Excellent thinking!
I'm terrible, Dave. I always work hard to see real pictures in the abstraction, hence missing the integrity of the whole.
Can you see the dumpling lady with the bun?
Bonza idea :-).
Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, thanks for that, but if you're right I may have to watch what trends I set!

That's what I like about blogging: no matter what you come up withy there are always three or four others way ahead of you! Great idea!
Mary
Thanks Mary - but now I'm really beginning to worry!

I couldn't agree more, and these days it offers such a variety of expression.
kaykuala
Thanks. Your endorsement is greatly valued, but as I mentioned above... you should see the expressions on my neighbours' faces!

Hey, know what? I missed her! I think she's pregnant! Maybe that's why the neighbours were looking askance!
