75

This was a piece that came from out of the blue,

and it hasn't had hours of agonising and planning.

On Thursday I put the van in for its MOT, so had to walk the last mile to work.

I stuck my earphones in and wandered along without any real cares,

just enjoying the first signs of spring appearing.

The music playing, at random, was OMD-"Architecture & Morality",

and somewhere at the back of my mind the seeds of this took root;

no real plan, just the idea of doing something sort of industrial and grungy. 

The canvas already had a drab background on it from a previous piece that was recycled

(steampunk moth, which I was never 100% happy with),

so it was just a case of adding some detail.

I chose 75 as OMD was the abbreviation for engine oils when I was serving,

and 75 was the most common one.

Simple things, as they say.
