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.
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.
@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 :)
I'll also try to make something new for this challenge :)
my attempt for the theme :)
sorry meant to do that !
this was after an anonymous Italian baroque artist - :-)
One of the ladies that follow me, told me that I used the wrong artist, Oops me bad, so did a Van Goph to appease. Sorry bout that!! lol
