For my last 'Richter' artist challenge I've used a photograph of some friends taken around 1990 when we were all helping with koala research out at Springsure. As my 'koala' friends were also my 'art' friends I don't think they would mind. I dedicate this to my friend Dawn (in centre) who is no longer with us. I used oils paints which I mixed on glass and pressed the photograph face down onto the paint to get the effect. The photograph is the same size as Richter's 6" x 4" painted photographs. I also used a palette knife in parts. I am surprised at how much more 3 dimensionality there is now in the photo.
@ag47 Join the crowd. This is my fourth year, and there are many others up to their fourth or fifth year - it gets a bit addictive, but as you take lots of photos anyway, you should love it.
