The theme this week is “Slightly Surreal”.
My dictionary version of “surrealism” is “a movement in literature and art based on the expression of imagination uncontrolled by reason and seeking to suggest the activities of the subconscious mind”.
Well, I wake up some mornings, feeling slightly desiccated, not unlike a dried up leaf in autumn which is awaiting the fate that will pluck it off the tree and send it to the scrapheap below. Hmmm. Could this be a metaphor for my life? An idea for a picture develops in my desiccated mind.
So there you have it. I love the idea of imagination being uncontrolled by reason so I have come up with a completely ridiculous “slightly surreal”.
Even though autumn is the theme for my sample picture, feel free to let your subconscious mind take over on any theme with a surreal flavour ….. or you might be feeling desiccated too!
There are no rules, no size restrictions, no particular style. Just post your luverly pics in “The Artist’s Studio” gallery and leave a link back to it in the thread.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
