Abstruse Goose: The Infinite Canvas

By Ann Finkbeiner | May 30, 2012 | Comments Off

Abstruse Goose’s little mouseover says, Please credit the original artist.  And he’s right, it’s nice to look at the world as though it’s art.  You can’t help but notice the original artist had great taste in color and in which colors to put together.  Like, the night sky is the original setting for diamonds against black velvet.  You all must have your own examples.

Except my neighbor, Al, who told me in a voice full of evil mischief that those neon red and violent magenta azaleas that he planted next to each other were beautiful because all the colors of nature went together.  I forebore to say that not one of those colors was one God had ever seen before.
