Something a bit different today. I was feeling lazy and didn't want to leave the comfiness of my couch for my cold studio today. And it took me ages to come up with something for this weeks prompt.
But in the end I went with the crooked painting. And I have to admit that sometimes I will leave a painting or frame hanging slightly crooked as a test.
Admittedly they are never quite as crooked as the one I depicted above, but I love seeing who comments on the fact that something is crooked, or even who goes up to readjust it.
Because if something is slightly off centre it doesn't bother me at all. In fact I quite enjoy the unusualness of, the non conformity of, and uniqueness of it.
Mr Mac finds this annoying, he prefers to have things symmetrical and in order. He and I have a standing joke. I would move something to slightly off centre, and he would arrange it so that it was just right.
It amazes me that we see things so differently, yet there is a time and place for his organisation, as there is a time and place for my disorganisation.
And every now and then he surprises me and will arrange something so uniquely and asymmetrically - it makes my heart soar.
Sometimes you just need to shake things up, look at a problem crookedly and try something asymmetrical.
A little something to mull over this week - and I would love to hear your crooked stories!
