Another Art Challenge

 

One of the challenges for my Art Challenge Club during 2014 was "Feminine".  That made me think about a photo I had taken back in 2013 of a wonderful fountain that I found in London.  


Here is the original photo.  I had the photo enlarged to 8 by 10 and the using an exacto knife, I carefully cut away the busy background of businesses.  Then I fixed it onto an 8 by 10 canvas that I had painted blue for a blue sky effect.  I thought all those feminine figures enjoying their brass fountain was perfect for the subject.  


 I love that fountain very much so this little project has place of pride on my bookshelf.  I did a post about that fountain on my Sharon's Sojourns site.  You can see it here if you are interested.

    The fountain is certainly a eye catcher. I hope they turn on the hot water in the winter.

    It is a funny fountain and you made a nice piece of art with it.

    We've talked about that fountain before, I think -- I know it well!

    I will have to go looking for the fountain. If you want to know about someone, look at the books they hold dear. I have a signed copy of Hillary's it takes a village around here someplace.
