Part of the 52 Weeks of 2016
Week 41
Subject: Post-modern art
I spent a lot of the week struggling to get an image that either I could do my own version of or would inspire my own work, I ran out of time for the deadline. But I did manage to get an image today that is more my take on the subject. From what I read, post modern art is often about a thought or feeling that the artist is trying to convey.
So I guess this is my 'post-post-modern' image. A comment on modern society.... "Drowning in data"

Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is interviewed by The Hill’s A.B. Stoddard during a policy briefing entitled "Protecting Consumer Data: A Policy Discussion with Leaders in Technology & Business" sponsored by Visa and The Hill at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, June 25, 2015.
At the beginning of Cathy Johnson's Watercolor Pencil Workshop earlier this summer, there was a really interesting discussion of the advantages of watercolor pencils over regular watercolors. Convenience seemed to be the key; I would like to add to that . . . one can use pencils in a hostile environment (at a mandatory workshop), in a covert manner, where the facilitator is a drill sergeant, and the material is deadly dull! And get away with it (though she kept "circulating" in my area, the workshop leader couldn't really be sure whether I was drawing or taking notes). I kept my sketchbook slightly under the table, and "drew what was in front of me." Covert art . . . heck, I even had on my camo flip-flops!!!
