Inspire Me Thursday - Inspired by Design

"This week’s challenge is to be inspired by design… flip through a magazine, peruse your junk mail, browse a catalog, looking for advertisements or layouts that you are drawn to. Choose one to be your inspiration… the task is not to duplicate it or to use the actual page within your art, but to be inspired by certain elements within the design, perhaps the color palette, the composition or a pattern used in the inspiration piece."
I was browsing through Neiman Marcus catalog and admiring the photography... and I swear - I couldn't find the prices of items until I really looked. They are soooo high that I thought they were some kind of codes... It is ridicules... I had fun adding prices to build just one outfit (from underwear to a coat). You could buy several cars for the same price.... Anyway, as I mentioned - the photography is great and I decided to try the Inspire me Thursday challenge. It was too late at night to paint, so I sketched it. Then I sketched it again and finished the painting today (in my journal).
Check out the "Inspire Me Thursday" website...
you will see amazing work.
