Thanks for all of those, Javed. I love unusual and non-symmetric architecture.
Someone in our neighborhood re-did their home in light purple. No doubt it offends some, but I love the individuality.
Heck; I even love it when someone puts pink flamingos on their lawn. A home not so far away has them and practically every other "tacky" lawn accessory you can think of and I smile every time I see it.
Perhaps it all stems back to an old 8mm home movie I saw years ago of my grandfather's old home at the rear of his grocery store. On the railings of his porch, he had made a flowing mini-river. After he retired, he collected driftwood and old crab shells. He would paint faces on the crabs and add arms and legs made of pipe-cleaners and use the driftwood for scenery. Many of the crabs were made to represent band members (with mini-guitars) and other professions. Paint-by-the-numbers paintings were among his specialties. He also liked to use liquid rubber to make plaster casts of various objects and paint them. I believe he considered himself an artist, and I guess in a way he was.
