The subject for this month’s challenge is surrealism or super realism. Thanks to Terri for her suggestion.Here is a very detailed explanation of the movement called surrealism in wikipedia.
As far as I can understand iit, it is a combination of elements juxtaposed in such a way that it is very improbable and far fetched:) Another expression I like to use for it is fantasy. Have a look at the October thread
Here are some examples I’ve picked from pixabay

Of course you are more than welcome to post your own incredulous combination of your choice:lol:
Looking forward to seeing your artwork!Christel
Ohhh, so inspiring pictures!!!
looks like I enjoy surrealism 
Thanks, Christel, for this lovely selection! I’ll choose one from yours or (and? :)) maybe look for something myself. I already have a “schedule” for the paintings I need to do but I can’t miss this – it looks SO cool! :wink:I love oil pastels and have created a blog about this medium. While the blog posts are in Russian, still I invite you to get inspired with various artists' beautiful OP paintings in my blog's gallery: https://oilpastelist.wordpress.com/gallery
Fun stuff, Christel! Thanks for the link to the detailed explanation on Surrealism. It sure does lead to some amazing work – I usually think first of Dali, but that’s hardly fair. I had no idea it had been around so long!
Your eagle chasing the beachgoers makes me laugh. I will have a go at something here…decisions, decisions!

That gigantic eagle looks like he means business, Christel!
I’ll have to rummage through my dreams for something suitably surreal. Last April would have been a cinch, as I was hallucinating 24/7 for a while there due to the nature of that stroke

Art is life's dream interpretation.
- Otto RankOoo, she does indeed look a bit ghostly here, Christel. I like it! Beautiful sky, too. It’s always fun to see everyone’s interpretations of these surreal images.
I haven’t started on anything yet. The only thing I’ve been painting lately is a room!
