Sooooooo... uhm... yeah... ok... i have two challengers for get pushed this week... this was supposed to be for one set by Jake Sorensen which is to: "take a photo in the style or spirit of your favorite artist who's main medium is not photography!"
I read this challenge off my iPhone this morning, and being quite the phillistine, this kinda thru me for a loop... am i supposed to have a favorite artist? the first one that came to mind was Monet and impressionism... Monet did lots of flowers and lilypads... he also did ladies with umbrellas (altho' I expect they were intended to be parasols - whatevs ;D)... Renoir (also an impressionist) did a rain and umbrella painting too since it was pouring rats, bats and alleycats today, I thought maybe intentional camera movement (or extreme motion blur) would work...
Thanks everyone for the the lovely comments and favs on my recent shots... I am a bit behind in commenting (again) - but will hopefully have more time tomorrow...
Love this! Fabulous idea and capture! I like both versions for different reasons, this one has a real 'painting' artsy feel, and I'll tell you in the other one why I like that one...
It reminds me very much of a painting of a particular Parisian street scene by another artist of the Monet/Renoir era whose name I can't remember. This is really lovely and original: it has the same elegance and it could have been taken in Paris. Bien fait!
