I have sheds!
The colours haven't scanned very well, the grey bits are actually blue. I am thinking about what to do but would be good to know where the sheds are. I presume they are little changing sheds at the seaside. I saw some of these type of thing when in Bournemouth....I may pretend that's where they are just because they can come alive in my mind then!
Very linear, which will be challenging as I am a swirly kinda gal!
Ok, ideas everyone. What do you see?

We have some beach boxes in Brighton a bayside suburb of Melbourne pinup...
Hi Pinup :) yes just the kind of beach hut you get at the seaside here in the UK - all along the east coast especially, larger versions are built illegally and inhabited all year round on the west coast of Cumbria. These are greatly in demand - one couple camped out in their car for four days over the christmas holidays in subzero temperatures to make sure they were first in the queue to get a hut - once it's yours you get to rent it for the rest of your life if you want to and they become a home away from home. Store the beach things in it, some have electricity too so you can make tea or coffee etc etc. Remember how cold it can be here even in the summer, but sit out of the wind and you can enjoy the peace and quiet of being at the seaside :) Too many neighbours for me - in Northumberland we like our beaches empty :) I like the geometric nature of your picture, the intersecting lines and the ideas created by the interplay of nature and the elements and man's attempts to hold them back. I see lots of swirly air and sea currents and the frailty of these structures amidst them.
I know it's not very "arty", but I immediately saw blue sky and a big yellow sun, sea and sand and people in the old fashioned style (neck to knee) swimming costumes ~ fun, laughter, bright colours !!!! lots of bright colours!!!!
Interestingly, in my journal I have already noted "1920's bathings belles" so great minds think alike! I didn't see sky and sun though, perhaps because I'm trying to scale my ideas down from super huge to slightly managable.
I like the sheds and think that they need to be together, one on its own would look like an outhouse! So at the moment I am moving a few different size copies of the original,around a blank 'canvas'....actually by chance a piece of black fabric which makes it all look quite different!
Keep those ideas coming! This is the part of the process I find the most exciting...love to hear any thoughts anyone has.
Today I am going to blowup my sheds! (Photocopy wise)!

I think your sheds have great character and I did see the neck to knee swimmers also.
Wondering if your can do 2 piccies one as they are and one with them doneup in a contempory style, maybe like the ones int he other piccy.

I wonder what is behind the sheds. Maybe you can take a wider view. Isn't that an old man and his dog, sitting there patienly waiting while the old guy gets his fishing gear ready??
