DrewDale Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thank you all for your kind words. It means a lot to have such great support. Mum had a nice send off today with a lot of the family present. Sadly on monday 23rd of January I lost a niece at the tender age of 33. It goes without saying that the family is crushed. Not a good start to our year. I will return to host the comp in the near future, but not sure how soon. Once more, many thanks for the condolences. Those I have not yet rep'd I will give them when mine are refreshed again. Drew. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I notice Pixey's link to Art Nouveau examples shows a preponderance of images of lovely young women. Though that was a common theme, there were many others, including peacocks, flowers, and dragonflies. Typical characteristics include sinuous lines and an emphasis on flat, poster-like colors, which was inspired by Japanese woodcuts. Louis Comfort Tiffany is associated with the style.

MJW Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I would like to request that Pixey extend the deadline of the Art Nouveau to make it a two-week competition. That Mosaic comp rather surprisingly had enough entries in a week, but it's the last in quite a while to do so. Also, I've been somewhat busy, and don't know if I'll have time by Saturday to complete an entry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 As soon as I woke up this morning I thought to myself, "I think I'll extend the Art Nouveau competition another week." I too needed more time. So, the completion is now extended to Saturday 11th February 2017. The deadline being 7:pm (UK time) here is a link to the World Time 3 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Ishi Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Art Nouveau seems like a very elegant theme thanks to the link by Pixey, showing posters of what I assume to be illustrations of women on the late 1800s. They are somewhat comparable to Mary Cassatt flat-color paintings, inspired by Japanese art that I read about in my opinion. I would love if I can make one but too much work for me to achieve what I had in mind, especially that I imagined if I could model it from someone rather special that I also wish would celebrate Valentines Day with me. I'm not motivated at the moment to try it or even start a canvass just to see how it could play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 @Ishi, it is very elegant! It used a lot of natural elements and had a lot of all-around "softness" to it. I agree with your Mary Cassatt comparison btw. (...I'll delete my additional rambling and stop here; Art Nouveau is one of my favorite styles so I can get a bit long-winded about it!)

MJW Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm embarrassed to not have an entry in a topic I suggested. It wasn't for lack of trying. Just lack of successful trying. I hate it when a plan doesn't come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixey Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's already Wednesday and there have been no entries into SOTW#163. Is the Topic unfavorable and would another theme be more interesting?

Maximilian Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I believe the topic is fine, though I haven't had the time to explore it. I think it would be nice to have an extension of the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionsDragon Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's an interesting topic--thermal imaging can create some really neat results. Unfortunately my contribution might be a self-portrait if I don't kick this bronchitis soon! (Don't even ask how much trouble I had making that red metal ring, ugh.)
