| Since I'm stuck at school all day tomorrow (and possibly late into the evening as well...) You all get my first challenge a little early. Find a famous work of art (something you'd find in a museum, not an Etsy artist) and let it inspire your page. Must include PAINT. (Glimmer Mist & Alcohol Inks count as paint for this challenge but Stickles do not). See my example below. I was inspired by this Piet Mondrian piece to create my background.  I masked off the blocks, painted in the colored parts, and then used a sharpie to color in the black stripes.  Not into art? Here are some artistic pieces sure to inspire you. Listed with the artists name in case you see something you like, but want to see more of their work. Google images brings up tons!! Claude Monet  Vincent Van Gogh  *This is my fave painting EVER. I was totally going to this as my inspiration piece, but I've already done that... I'll see if I can dig up that page and share it here...* Jackson Pollack  Andy Warhol  Mark Rothko  William Turner  MC Escher  Have Fun! Don't forget to post your layout in the gallery under CROPS. Link back here with the art you chose for inspiration. | |

| I have done one with Mondrian before, one of my favorites. I would share but it is not saved on my computer for some reason and I would have to go thru tons of layouts to find it. | |

| Kimmy, didn't you just love the Tate? Oh my gosh, that and the Chicago Art Institute--I thought I was going to pass out, seeing all these things I'd read about all my life, but never thought I'd ever see in person. | |

| When I saw the William Turner portrait, I knew what pape I was going to work with. I have just been waiting to use this new Basic Grey. It is great going with the color scheme of the portrait.  | |

Trisha...I LOVED the Tate...We went to both the Tate & the Tate Modern. EXCELLENT museums. They had a Turner & Rothko exhibit at the Tate...which is why I included those here. I am going to Chicago this summer and am going to see if I can fit in the CIA..because i was really annoyed I didn't get to go last time. Shana those are lovely pages!! Thanks for playing!!! | |

Tate Modern--heck, I was there so long ago, I don't think that was even around! But then again, it may have just blurred in my mind . . . we went to MANY museums. Shana those are lovely pages!! Thanks for playing!!![/quote] Those ARE lovely, Shana--the colors are beautiful  The background paper is a photo print of a section of a painting done by one of my children, inspired by Jackson Pollock. The pics are from a couple of the art classes I taught at a homeschool co-op. | |
