Subject: May Challenge theme - FLOWERS


tresamie ( ) posted Wed, 02 May 2007 at 10:17 AM · edited Wed, 11 December 2024 at 2:57 AM

Hi all,

gunsan is taking a small break and has asked me to post the challenge.  Here it is in gunsan's own words:
Hi, and thanks for this message!
I have a little "creative pause" from RR now, it is important to take a break now and then. I have been a steady member for 6½ years now., so a pause is essential.not to get burdened of it.

I pondered what I would want as a theme, and why not that what my mind is full of just now.

FLOWERS.

But not just photos or paintings of ordinary flowers, but very personal interpretation of flowers.
There are thousends of flowers, that can give inspiration to strange interpretations, fairy flowers as well as man-eating flowers or fractal flowers, just to name a few.

Let us see how long your (and mine) fantasy can´reach!!!

Happy spring
Hugs - Gun

The Challenge begins immediately and will close to entries on May 27, 2007 at 11:59 PM Renderosity time.  Voting will begin then and last until May 30, 2007 at 11:59 PM Renderosity time.  I will total and announce the results on May 31, 2007.

Let's see what you got!

A wonderful challenge. I love flowers. Thanks Gun.

Some forest flowers. These remind me of the little blossoms on some of the wildflowers growing along our creek bank.  A larger version is posted in my gallery.

But as I see, more than one entry is allowed?

I can see everyone is inspired with this topic!  newleaf, it's wonderful to see one of your fractal creations again :)   These are all terrific entries.

My Mom was blind for my entire life. I was always using words to paint for her. She loved flowers, but Lilacs were her favorite. I wrote this when I was thirteen or so.

Lilacs are the smell of the air after a spring rain, and the sun is out.
They are the smell of Nana's neck during a thunderstorm, and I am on her lap.
They are the smell of home, just at sundown, and evening breezes stir.

Lilacs are the taste of blueberries, still hot from the sun.
They are the taste of the first barbecue of spring.
They are the taste of ice cream at the Dairy, while we feed the ducks.

Lilacs  are the sound of the tree frogs, peeping in the night.
They are the sound of spring rain on the tin roof of the back porch.
They are the sound of children laughing, as they blow dandilion seeds.

Lilacs feel like berries heavey on the vine.
They feel like tiny faerie kisses, when you lay them on your cheek.
They feel like cool little pieces of heaven, tied in a tiny bundle.

Lilacs are the first flowers of the spring, they will always mean thay winter's gone.
They will always drench the air with their sweet perfume, so we will know.
It's safe to stay out later, and leave our jackets home. They will always be an invitation to come out and fall asleep in the porch swing listening to the night's song.

wow, this is a wonderful way of describing a lilac.
ím very impressed you already could do this on a early age.

Great entries everyone, wow! I hope this is interperative enough. It is a reflection of a water lily, taken into photoshop, rotated 180 degrees, and artistically enhanced. A littlee tribut to Monet I suppose. Water gives life to these flowers especially, so there is that double meaning as well.

Hi evielouise,

There is no approval process first, your entry should have been posted.  One of two things could have happened.  If it took very long to make the post, you may have timed out.  If it didn't take very long, it's possible that you chose the button "preview reply" instead of "post reply".  That would have put it on hold, and if you exited out, it would have been lost.  Please repost your entry, we would love to see it!

Hi gang, I am back, and I feel joy when I see all your gorgeous flowers. This is a fantasy flower, painted just with my fingers and nails. I used a mix of acrylic paint,  paperhanger's paste and glue.


kansas ( ) posted Sat, 12 May 2007 at 8:36 AM

Lucie, your entry is lovely and graceful. I like it very much.

Gunsan, a gorgeous abstract flower. You are so clever and talented.

Good luck to both of you.

this is not exactly a 'personal' interpretation of a flower. it is a very old image of a 'fleur de lis' as used in coats of arms and very much styled/simplyfied like the modern logo. made it as a stained glass window. i enjoyed to see rhe number and all the different interpretations of the theme and it will be extremely difficult to choose 😄

They are both lovely Miss Evie,
Thanks for the benches in the first to sit a while and enjoy the view. The roses are so fresh looking all covered in dew.  I do love stained glass, my daughter makes them for me. Alida this latest is my favorite of yours, I think it is the sun from behind. 
Happy Mother's Day to all.
