Would these be considered Wabi-Sabi? |

1. Wabi-Sabi may be in the eye of the beholder |
|
I love these pictures, but they say more "perfection" to me than beauty through imperfection. It might work as a Wabi-Sabi for me if the glass was cracked, and the paint peeling.
But, what do I know?

2. Some helpful words, hopefully |
|
I agree with Celebration that your pictures, while great, probably wouldn't be considered wabi-sabi (with the second picture closer due to the wear on the white frame). Here's something I hope is helpful. It's the first few lines of the introduction in Leonard Koren's book, Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers.
Wabi-sabi is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.
