It’s the 7th day of the 7th month in the 17th year of this century. Some people believe the number 7 is lucky – so the We’re Here! challenge today is to come up with a creative image showing the number 7, and post it here.
While out driving I spied a convenience store featuring the number 7, and also an auto repair shop sign – but neither seemed particularly creative. So it was back to the internet for ideas. I typed in “number 7” to see what might come up, and bam! The answer. Famed artist Jackson Pollock created a piece in 1952 titled simply, “Number 7”. I’ve put a copy in the first comment box below. I had noticed there is a contest at The Award Tree called Famous Painters, and you get to pick your artist.
My montage today is not a re-creation, but rather an effort to capture a little of the spirit and style of Jackson Pollock, featuring the Number 7.
An enticing picture on the side of the cafe at Gravesend's Gordon Gardens, closed due to inclement weather/end of season (?)...
I once read a book by Robert A Heinlein, a progenitor of the noodle brain "thought processes" of Enoch Musch and its ilk: a 600 page "sci-fi epic" with a collection of silliness presented as snappy aphorisms - "A camel is a mouse designed by a committee".
This painting illustrates that very point, in that a committee consisting of Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and Amy Winehouse, tasked with designing a winning ice cream cone to be sold on sunny days in untold number, would have come up with just this and the world would have been the better for it. Or not, as the case may be.

En haut à gauche,oeuvre de Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) artiste important du pop art américain. Ses œuvres s'inspirent fortement de la publicité et de l'imagerie populaire de son époque, ainsi que des bandes dessinées.
En haut à droite, Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) peintre américain de l'expressionnisme abstrait, mondialement connu de son vivant.
Top left, work by Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) an important artist of American pop art. His works draw heavily on advertising and popular imagery of his time, as well as comics.
Top right, Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) American painter of abstract expressionism, world famous during his lifetime.
This major work of Abstract Expressionism was purchased by the Whitlam government in 1973.
The lack of recognisable symbolism in Blue Poles is deliberate. Much of Pollock’s work was about externalising his seemingly troubled internal states.
Housed at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

Triptych of a railway arch lock-up door in London. I'm not sure what originally attracted me to it; the locks, the graffiti or the layers of old paint. I thought it had a Jackson Pollock feel to it so I have attempted to create three images that could either stand alone or together as a triptych.

After having fun doing both Dali and Picasso, I decided it was time to do one of the great American artists, Jackson Pollock.
The fact that a couple people sent me messages, taunting me to do Pollock helped too :)

I Teach Photoshop online to people all over the world, if you like my work, you will love the class.
Jackson Pollock at the Tate Modern gets plenty of attention and plenty of debate. Abstract masterpiece or childish scribble? It's all so subjective; what do you think?

The splattered yellow nose end of a Deltic. Just a bit of fun, 'three panels, random oil smudges and dots splattered on yellow nose end', Jackson Pollock meets Class 55!
So there is this really cool website my mom found called jacksonpollock.org/ It is just a doodling site. It is really fun playing around with it!
