Week 9 Challenge: Grotesque

Week 9 Challenge: Grotesque

Comments 1 comment

This week’s challenge is not for the faint of heart. You know I love me some grotesque imagery. Grotesque / Gothic paintings are my favorite. Take the darkness and run with it. This week, explore the darkness that everyone holds inside and see what comes out. Maybe this will help, too: Grotesque: comically or repulsively ugly or distorted, incongruous or inappropriate to a shocking degree. synonyms: malformed, deformed, misshapen, misproportioned, distorted, twisted, gnarled, mangled, mutilated; More I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature!…

Week 8 Challenge: Flowing Fabric

Week 8 Challenge: Flowing Fabric

Comments 1 comment

Everyone knows I love a little flowing fabric. Or maybe a lot. Okay, I have a full-on obsession with flowing fabric. As evidenced by my hundred or so images that feature it. Why? It creates movement in an otherwise static image. It can be transformed into so many shapes and adds an organic element to an image. I can’t wait to see how you use moving fabric in your art! I’ll pull some of the art that I see this…

That’s how I view cinema. I don’t work in this medium normally, and only have a smattering of images that could pass as cinematic. Mine edge toward painterly. But I thought it would be fun to see how far we could take this theme this week! You…

Flowers are an incredibly evocative prop. They are rich in color, delicate to the touch, symbolic of growth/beauty/death…and my personal favorite are either: dead flowers, or death flowers, like calla lilies. Did you know that the calla lily was my wedding flower? I can’t wait to see what flowers you use, or if you only use the theme symbolically! I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature!

Week 5 Challenge: Fairytales

Week 5 Challenge: Fairytales

Fairytales vary from country to country, but one thing remains the same: Fairytales are cautionary tales. Some of them are sweet as sugar and oh-so-cute. Others are rather horrifying. No matter which way you interpret this theme, it is sure to be very, very fun. Get extra weird this week with it! I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature! Use the hashtag #PromotingPassionChallenge so I can find you! Here is some food for thought….
