Kali is hosting the artist challenge which inspired me to look at some of his work on line.
To see more than this single focal point of the image, there's a full version on The Artsy Gang what I did colour in!
This is the Hockney Picture I tried to copy, it's one of his IPad ones.
If you're near Cambridge (the UK's one) The Fitzwilliam Museum is exhibiting his work alongside Old Masters and works that inspired him. It's a wonderful collection of his work, including a time-lapse of an ipad image being "painted".
Such a professional looking piece, Jackie! Really well done - both with pen and camera.
Hello, Jackie!
So pleased to be paired with you once again! And thank you for your thoughtful challenge. I am actually getting out with camera once again so that is a great one!
Your challenge is a tough and scholarly one … I hope it is okay with you. Please let me know if it makes absolutely no sense to you and there is no way you can do anything with it.
Did you know that your Blake Newton was an artist as well as a poet? He was quite the Renaissance man! I really like his quote “Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death.” Blake Newton condemned the scientific trio of Isaac Newton, John Locke and Francis Bacon as sterile and materialistic.
Your challenge is to interpret Blake Newton’s quote and put it into a photo. Or – examine any of his works (art or written) and use them for your challenge.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I would like you would express your opinion if you were Blake Newton.
Have fun!!
@summerfield seems I can copy, but not on a tablet!! @quietpurplehaze new set of blue pens!! Very cool set @grammyn my take on today's prompt @haskar many thanks @kjarn so many blues in my new set! @merrelyn thank you @salza it's amazing exhibition! There's also a gallery of JUST his work in Cambridge, mind-blowing to get so close to his huge composite photographs @monikozi I so wish I'd placed the pen on the corner of the diving board @narayani thank you, I enjoyed doing it @kali66 oh thank you, that's good to read
@farmreporter Thank you Wendy. I've guessed you mean William Blake who painted Isaac Newton
An interesting challenge, as a former science teacher I think of science as a tree of life !!
I'll see what I can come up with to combine science, trees, Blake's work ( but not his poetry!)
Would love to see that exhibition
