Handmade Art

I guess art is per se handmade – but not all handmade things are art. I leave it up to you to say whether these paintings are art. They are hand made, anyway.

On my way home from Munich, tunnel under the train tracks, colorful and hand painted
Handmade fence decoration outside a kindergarten, created by little artists
I think the maypole figures must be handmade, and the maypole itself as a matter of fact. The two buildings depicted are in Gauting.

I'm a US born ex-pat, having lived most of my adult life in Munich, Germany. Cycling and photography are my favorite things.

    Hand made art for sure — colorful and imaginative!
    The maypole is especially.

    Definition of Art: (yes I had to look it up 😉 )
    “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power”

    That, leaves no doubt.

    ALL good handmades ;’-).
    Here we are in the “worst Air Quality in the WORLD!!!!!!!” So say the experts. And of course I have not been on my bike for the entire week. This is not good for me — or for those near me They say it gets better later today (Thursday) just in time for heavy rain to fall on Friday and then rain for a few days. We desperately need rain and I will be happy to see it, BUT — more days of no riding I fear.

    I’d call that graffiti art, better than the scribbles
