Artist Challenge

March 22nd, 2011
Here is the challenge. Make a photograh based on a famous artist. (Feel free to go beyond just copying an artist's work) The first artist we will use as inspiration is Vincent van Gogh. The next artist challenge will have a different artist.


Five finalist's work will be chosen and posted. The 365 community will choose a winner from this group of five by voting.

To participate please include "theme-vincent" as a tag, and a single sentence describing how your photograh is related to the artist's work. You may begin at midnight EST tomorrow, but seven days later at midnight the challenge will be closed. Only work done from March 22- March 29th will be accepted.
(It would be fun to put a copy of the pic in this thread. Might even help others.)

Good luck!

Here is my sample

This is a reinterpretation of Van Gogh's "Irises" using simillar colors, but different flowers, and composition.

This is my entry in the Artists Challenge. Claude Monet has always been one of my favorite artists. His wisteria paintings are not my favorite...I LOVE his water lilies...but I don't have water lilies readily available. I have tons of wisteria.

based upon his 'self portrait' 1889


March 25th, 2011
@smapp did it have to be Van Gogh? Or any Artist we chose?
March 25th, 2011
@valhamil I read it as Van Gogh first, then other artists later in other challenges.
March 25th, 2011
This was crazy hard! I don't have the look that I wanted initially. I've spent a couple hours (more actually) to get it this far. Hope everyone can see where I was intending this shot to go.

March 26th, 2011
@valhamil Van Gogh this time around. The winner will pick the new artist when we do it again, later.
March 26th, 2011
Who the hell is Van Gogh ?hahaha- just kidding !!:)OK-count me in.!Btw,all photos are great and deserves a great applause :)

Ok- I got it this time :) Here's my Starry Night from my parking lot
March 29th, 2011
@smap This is brilliant!! Love it!!

@valhamil Really gorgeous!! What processing do you use?
March 29th, 2011
@slava 1. I boosted the colors 2. saturated 3. gave it a vignette in dark blue 4. used gooify then 5. cloned some faux stars from the sunset That's a LOT of processing, and some of the "stars" are kind of crap- but I'm, pleased with the overall effect :)
March 29th, 2011
@valhamil Thank you so much for the explanation!! I LOVE the end result!!
