It was a challenge indeed. The only way I could deal with it was to use a lot of artistic license :-)
I have a tri-color Corgi and used to have a red/white one like the one shown. As a breed, they are excellent "peekers". So this has been an often seen perspective in my own bedroom over the years :-)
I didn't dare attempt this one and couldn't imagine that something this great would come out of a complicated challenge like this one. Adding the dog was genious. I love everything about it:)
Thanks Southern Girl! I'm a Southern Guy BTW. Georgia Boy transplanted to Colorado last year. Saw your profile and I'm glad you found an outlet in art to help you cope. So let's see your version soon ok?
1. A new challenge will be posted every three weeks. Photos may be a mix of still life, landscape, architectural or just everyday people in everyday situations. There are several brilliant painters I admire online and hopefully I can present some challenges in which we might be able to explore a certain painter's style as well as simply the subject before us. I chose three weeks because I have a lot going on, as I'm sure you do as well!
2. You may crop or edit a challenge photo as much or as little as you like. If you work in oils, great. If you work in acrylics, fab. Heck, you can even do a charcoal sketch or pastel drawing. The one stipulation I do have for challenge participation is that the works must be created using pen, pencil, crayon, brush, etc. Please do not submit any Photoshop or digitally manipulated works.
3. Once finished with your work, take a photo of it, stick it in a jpeg file and send it to me at: jenlsmith910@gmail.com. Once I've received your photo, I'll post it here to share with anyone and everyone. If you'd like to specify the size of the canvas and what medium used, please do so and I will include this info alongside your name.
4. I would love to credit you with your work by placing your name under your painting, but only if you desire this - If you wish to be anonymous, you must specify this along with your photo in an email. If you have a blog and wish to have your name link to it, please specify this as well and I'll be happy to do so.
5. Lastly but not least, thanks to anyone out there who chooses to participate! I truly enjoy looking at everyone's interpretations and efforts. I hope I can provide enough interesting subjects worth taking on and using your supplies for!
Nice take on this challenging photo - love your colors, detail, and the puppy. He seems to be saying: "You up yet?" Very Nice.
ReplyDeleteI really like the adding of the dog...really sweet....like most dogs who beg to get in bed:)

Marie...Great Job! Especially the folds on the bedding and capturing the darkened room...Kudos!
ReplyDeleteIs that a Welsh Corgi I see? I have one and this is the view he gives me every morning! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteYes that is a Welsh Corgi...though my own is a tri-color. A red and white fir the color scheme so I went that route ;-)
And Nancie, you did a fine job with the cropping and drama of the scene. Excellent!
I love Don West's take on the challenge! Also - BED! It's my favorite place to be!
