Challenge - 36
First of all a big Thank You to all participating artists who shared their paintings in the last challenge. Painting together not only gives us a warm feeling of camaraderie with like minded artist souls, it also helps to learn and advance by observing how each of us interprets the given composition.
In this note, I specially want to thank all who shared their comments and critiques about the different paintings. All of us value encouragement and kind words from fellow artists are truly inspiring. Thank You!
About the composition
All human inventions started as an idea. Powerful enough for those strongly dedicated to the mission to keep it alive and not let it be forgotten. They reminded themselves until it became their habit to think and visualize it, transforming it into an image deeply engraved into their subconscious mind. This image guided their hands to create and invent the biggest wonders on earth and beyond.
Let this photograph, which I recently took at the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory, inspire your hands to create your own wonders. You can use it as a complete composition or embed it into more complex and meaningful artistic creations. Let it talk about sunny days, happiness, love and peace for all and inspire the viewers to hear its powerful message.
Please send your entries by April 14. The next challenge will be posted on April 15.

Challenge 35 - Egg Basket by Henri-Horace-Roland Delaporte
As we step into 2013, I wish everyone a very very Happy New Year! May this new year bring peace and fulfillment for all of us.
For artists, we see so many exciting new resources now being available - oil papers, aqua dispersions, new color pigments and more. All these tools help us in bringing new elements in our art; many of the participants in the last challenge took the opportunity to try new mediums and techniques. I congratulate all of us who participated - we saw so many truly captivating paintings and drawings based on Johannes Vermeer's "The Lace Maker".
Thank you once again for your overwhelming participation! When you share your painting, each of us is enriched by observing your interpretation and each painting teaches us something new. And, a special big Thank You to all who took the time to share their comments and provide encouragement and advice.
About the composition
This is the third and for now the last in the series of challenges following in the footsteps of the Old Masters. It was painted by French painter Henri-Horace-Ronald Delaporte (1724/1725 - 1793).
Two important things we should observe and remember while painting this challenge:
1) Intelligent composition - the intimacy of this hidden, secret corner surrounded by aged and cracked stone blocks, makes the viewer speechless, suggesting that the time has stopped and the silence should be kept forever.
2) The light source is positioned at the front top left corner and it is casting all shadows towards bottom right corner.
Please send your entries by Feb 28. The next challenge will be posted on March 1.
