Cupcakes

Whenever time allows, I like to do the exercise on the blog of Karin Jurick's blog, Different Strokes from Different Folks. This time it was a photo of cupcakes.





145 artists engaged in the challenge,.........here is my version.....

DSFDF Pennsylvania Landscape

The Different Strokes from Different Folks challenge this time from Karin Jurick's blog was a Pennsylvania landscape.
We received the photo to do in black/white and our challenge was to invent the color.
Since I usually paint underwater scenes, this WAS a challenge for me ! The colors I deal with are much brighter.

Different Strokes

There is a blog that I discovered by a fellow artist, Karin Jurick, whereas she takes a photograph of something/ someone every few weeks, then offers artists to paint or draw their interpretation of that photo. The artists have two weeks to paint them, then send them to Karin for her to put on her blog named, Different Strokes from Different Folks.

This is the first time that I have done the challenge. It was a photograph of NewYorkCity-Madison Street.

Since I usually paint underwater fishes and scene, this was totally different subject matter for me. I found it fun. I don't feel like I was out of my comfort zone, because I am pretty comfortable painting most anything.

I had so much fun doing this, that I know I will be back to do more !
