Attached Link: Info on Minimalism

Our September Challenge winner, Valerie-Ducom has asked me to announce the October challenge. Here are a few words from her:

I would like for the october, the theme "Minimalism" :
A style of art in which the artist reduces the work to a minimum of elements.

Check out the website with information about minimalism in case anyone wants to research.

I think this theme will be a great challenge! Let's run this until the last week of October, I will give you a day or so heads up and if anyone needs more time they can let me know. You may enter an existing work if you like, but we would prefer to see a new work created for this challenge... it IS a challenge after all, lol! You may enter more than one work, but remember that in the voting, each entry will be judged separately. Please, please, please put titles on your entries, especially if you have more than one.

Let your imagination flow!!!

Fractals will always amaze me!

Suzanne, I really like your "Flow" art piece.

Gunsan, I also like "Morning Stillness". So serene.

Gog ( ) posted Thu, 18 October 2007 at 11:25 AM

not sure what to call it, maybe 'complex wax' strange to make something complex that could still be minimalist...

Hello Valérie,

One of the things I love about the challenge arena is that it tends to be rather anything goes in style, means that the variety of entries is huge and all are welcome, hope you join in more as more challenges come along.
