[JRPerrone]

I decided to go for modern art.
Winter, girls are cold.
Modern solution, put a hoody on.

Good solution, great composition. I love the icy blue coloring. Great legs, too.

Lizzie, your rendition is amazing. The coloring of your photo truly makes your skin look statuesque. I like the wrap you chose also. It works phenomenally with this Artwork. Kudos!!!

As curator of the Living Works of Art Museum, I am delighted to announce the opening of a new wing to make room for our latest exhibit: the lovely ladies of Lit posing as iconic works of art.

Ladies, we are seeking your renditions of these iconic works to fill our gallery. For those unfamiliar with the concept, my trusted advisors and I, collectively the Council of Vintage Gentlemen (CVG), will select an iconic work of art featuring the female form once a week. During the ensuing week, submit your interpretation of this artwork for the admiration of the museum patrons.

Do be prepared, we do not prohibit touching of the artwork and we have found in the male body exhibit that some of the patrons do get "handsy."

Are you ready?

What a wonderful idea. Need index for Museum of artist's

Hello Ladies,

It was nice to see the flurry of "Cold Girl" entries in the last day. The time has come for your next challenge. Hang on to your drapings, because you will need them again. Also, we return to Venus again! I guess I just have 'Venus envy.'

This week's challenge is Venus Italica by Antonio Canova:

Lovely Ladies of Lit,

We find ourselves on another Wednesday morning (at least in my time zone) and therefore, time for your next challenge. I had hoped to find something that would embody the Halloween spirit, and thus came across the sorceress of Greek mythology, Circe.

For your next challenge, I give you a choice of two renditions of Circe, the first by Wright Barker and the second by John William Waterhouse:

I have been working on both wings and Breast size for a few days now, So yes I remembered... I at first run thru I had listing for first but you had remove so was sorry it was gone. The male wing is a bit hard to do I hope all links are good as I do not open, just make listing.

It was a bad and hard morning with 103 temp.. it broke around noon so rested and started again meds are keeping it down for now.

I decided to go for modern art.
Winter, girls are cold.
Modern solution, put a hoody on.

No no, Icy - light a fire and take all your clothes off! However, if you must wear clothes, you do so beautifully - this is another mesmerising rendition!

I like the way you do cold Icy... makes me want hot tea and honey.

 

[Icy1]

This image is awesome! I could have some serious fun doing a photoshoot with you, even just digitially manipulating your photos could be fun. Love your creativity!

Thanks very much. I needed to think outside the usual here and had some help with editing.

Good solution, great composition. I love the icy blue coloring. Great legs, too.

Thanks JRP

Thank you. It really was a creative collaboration.

Lol. That is the best plan. But thank you.

I like the way you do cold Icy... makes me want hot tea and honey.

Thanks Lizzie. The straight honey gets a bit much after a while. Lol

Thanks Lizzie. The straight honey gets a bit much after a while. Lol

OMFG HAHAHAHAHHAHA LMAO... dammit I can't stop laughing.
Ahem... you are right ofcourse.

 

[LizzieEr]

Beautiful and...unsettling. Her fear, that the cold and darkness is closing in, is warranted.

Thank you. Beautiful and unsettling.. it's an interesting choice of adjective. I find myself looking that choice.

AUSGEZEICHNET.

Thank you again.

Very nicely done. You have such a beautiful eye for artistic photography.

Oh, I am so very pleased you think that.

Lizzie, your rendition is amazing. The coloring of your photo truly makes your skin look statuesque. I like the wrap you chose also. It works phenomenally with this Artwork. Kudos!!!

Thank you. This is a cotton shawl I had lying around. The colour choice was made after I sent my first shot to someone for feedback.
