The Living Works of Art Challenge II - Female Body Edition

[glendale22]

I'm not blonde either, I hope there's no points off for that!

It's a twofer! One normal and one filtered. I found a Van Gogh filter, so you know I had to use it, apparently this is what he would paint if he painted it.

The Van Gogh filter changes the brush strokes, but both are luminous. The model has to get credit for that aura.

Another brilliant contribution Tali!

You two could be sisters!

Thank you! It seemed like an ungainly pose to hold, it looks better than it feels!

Numeniusa, pillow humping or not this such a lovely view of your lovely rear and is further proof you are indeed a work of art xxx

Thank you, PB. 'Lovely rear', that's quite a complement coming from you!

This is a lovely pic Numi.
Look at that tan.
And I have to ask...
Was the pillow humping good? Lol

Thank you, Icy! I think the lighting made the tan look stronger than it really is. I was quite surprised to see the lines still there, not being a frequent observer of my own bum!

And there was humping, yes. But the pillow played only a supporting role

Looks like Odalisque has been tanning, but not all over. That lighter tone draws the eyes to the picture's central image, the spot I'd get out the magnifier to examine the artist's brushstrokes.

If you feel any, er, adjustments are needed with your *cough* artist's brush, well, who am I to resist?

Lovely image, Numi. I'm thinking after that shot, there was some humping of things other than pillows.

Yes. Oh yes... And thank you JRP

You carry the "arctic blond" very well Numi. As for the other...

odalisque - noun

1. a female slave or concubine in a harem...

Looks to me like you could easily carry that on off as well. Not sure about the pillow humping but every harem has some pillow fighting. We'll just say you're warming your pillows up for the next battle.

Hmm. Slave I wouldn't like. Concubine on the other hand...

You did this one precisely and it looks beautiful. An artist always takes that kind of care.

Thank you Ms G!

We may not be blonde, but we can fake it! You did a beautiful job too, you're so lovely!!

Thank you, tali. We non-blondes should stick together...!

LOL Looks like you've cracked it again. Brilliantly done.

Thank you, Mr Fryer

Well I hope you enjoyed the pillow humping. We're certainly enjoying the view!

Thank you, Mara! No pillows were harmed in the taking of this photo

THAT IS THE REAL DEAL, BLOND OR NOT.

Thank you, Mr U

I am in awe of how you do these. Very pretty pictures for the museum.

Deduct one point for hair colour, but 99% isn't too bad

I do like the filter effect.

That's not too bad, thanks fish!!

Oh, very sweet. That Van Gogh thing is great. Bravo.

Thank you JR!

No points off -- this is over the top gorgeous, both versions.
I've tried the Van Gogh filter on a few things, but didn't like any of them enough to keep. This is the perfect image for the filter, or the effect was made for this pic. Truly wonderful, Tali. ∞∞∞:

Yep, same here Mara, it doesn't work very well on some photos, I loved it on this one, thank you!!

The Van Gogh filter changes the brush strokes, but both are luminous. The model has to get credit for that aura.

Aww, thank you!!

Beautifully done Tali.

thank you weekender!!

Another brilliant contribution Tali!

Thank you kindly!!

Thank you, tali. We non-blondes should stick together...!

Indeed we should!! *high five*

Very lovely bum cleavage there, tali

Thank you, that was harder than I thought it would be, I had to twist a little.

I am in awe of how you do these. Very pretty pictures for the museum.

Thank you Ms! I do love to play with them!

I'm so glad that you chose this theme, rather than El Greco. You'd look weird with a long head.

Oh thank you!

Thank you very much!!

So lovely Mara. Fantastic pose and your skin looks beautiful.

If Francois was auditioning today I think you'd get the job. I'd certainly give you one .......................... erm .................. a job that is.

My rendition of "Blond Odalisque" by Francois Boucher

Lots of enticing lines to let my eyes wander over and back, and then start again. I'd stand in front of this portrait until the museum's closing time.

 

[murmurmara]

Yes! Great reaction -- thanks, m'dear.

...and a very fine rendition it is too, Mara!

Thanks so much.

I'm so glad that you chose this theme, rather than El Greco. You'd look weird with a long head.

Laughing! No no no... JRPerrone gives us the challenges, one each week -- we can chose whether or not to participate, but not the challenge.

And I totally agree that I'd look weird with a long head!

Look at that butt would you? OMG I love the way it curves, this is beautiful Mara!!

SPANK!!

Love when I earn a SPANK from you, the connoisseur of butts.

So lovely Mara. Fantastic pose and your skin looks beautiful.

Thank you, Icy.

Thanks for telling me.

Awww, so kind of you, glendale.

Nice job, Mara! You've captured the pose very well.

Just beautiful. Well done.

Lovely curve to your back there, Mara, and you have such beautiful skin. Luminous, almost.

 

[murmurmara]

Nice job, Mara! You've captured the pose very well.

Thank you, JRP. Tali was right. It needed a twist of the hips.

Just beautiful. Well done.

Thanks so much.

Lovely curve to your back there, Mara, and you have such beautiful skin. Luminous, almost.

Thank you, Numi. These challenges are so much fun to tackle, aren't they. At least this one had an easier camera set up.
