Welcome to the February 2012 edition of Different Strokes.
If you would like to host a Different Strokes, please see the Schedule thread
here - it is a sticky near the top of the main forum page.
Please read the guidelines below carefully.
GUIDELINES:
On the first of each month a reference photo (or photos) will be posted in a thread entitled "Different Strokes".
Artwork can be any size on any surface but MUST be acrylic.
Each member interested in taking the challenge will create a painting using the chosen reference(s) (whole or cropped)
and on the
20th of each month participants will upload their interpretation of the reference for discussion within this thread, finished or not.
Be as inventive, creative and different as you wish!
PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD WORK TO THE THREAD BEFORE THE 20TH OF THE MONTH.**
At the end of the month the thread /discussion will be closed and a new challenge will begin.
**Please note, the single 'reveal' date is chosen so that we do not influence each other with our individual interpretations ......
that's the whole point of it being called 'Different Strokes'!
By all means ask questions in the thread or initiate discussion about the challenge - just don't post images!!!

I thought we all needed some cheerful colors to get us through this taxing time.
My DH gets stressed at
tax time and I try to avoid him whenever possible.
When we we visited Maine these bright, colorful lobster pot floats caught my eye and I just had to take a picture.
and one I zoomed in.........
Feel free to crop the images, add to, or take out things if you wish.
As a challenge try an unusual composition or colors (or both) if you're of a mind to do so.
Remember to have fun... I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Ready.... set..... go!

It's good to play with images
