Rubbish picture...

No, not one of mine, but a picture made literally from rubbish.

This is the contents of the container we use for collecting food waste ready to be moved to the green waste bin outside. We keep it on the counter by the kitchen sink and last night whilst I was washing up it just caught my eye.

'Wow!'I thought. 'Just look at that. it's almost as if someone's arranged all that stuff to make a picture.'

It was only the string from some roasted lamb breast, a couple of lily leaves, a few cooked and discarded frozen peas and some carrot peelings - but what a pleasing sight it made. The greens and oranges making a bright arrangement of colour without any human intervention.

It's at time like those when I wonder if chance and randomness are all that is required to make art.
