I spent a lot of time trying to narrow down the entries to just 5. There were several strong entries. In order to get this up tonight to start the voting, I've narrowed it down to 6 instead.
Thank you to everyone that participated. I was impressed with what people did. The 6 I have narrowed it down to have either done an incredible job recreating one of Lempicka's paintings, or really captured the essence with an "inspired by". Without further ado, and in no particular order.....
3) The contrast of the yellow lemons with the blue stripes and the fluid dark lines created by the folds made this a great match for Lempicka's style for me
For me 2 has it in the lighting, the expression, the composition, everything.
