“Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life.”
— Oscar Wilde
The Daily Post Photo Challenge this week is an interesting one:
Artists are inspired by and capture the world around us: sculptors immortalize people with statues; painters record events in their masterpieces. What about the other way around? For this week’s theme, find inspiration in a piece of art, and go further: imitate it. Here are some ideas:
- Reenact a painting. …
- Take a new version of one of your photos. Re-create your own work. Same subject, same scene, same angle. (In your post, show or link to the original one!)
- Imitate a sculpture, …
Today I ventured out in minus 20 degrees C, without tech gloves, and tried to recreate the scenes in earlier photos. The results are far from ‘perfect’, but the process was fun and something I will undoubtedly try again. These are the two previously posted pictures that inspired today’s photo shoot:
Following are the two ‘imitations’ (not quite) that I took on February 13, 2016:

Thanks Denis — I wasn’t going to bother but I couldn’t resist as sunlight isn’t an everyday opportunity.

Beautiful photos, Janice, the one with the sun from yesterday is sublime – reminds me of Turner’s oil paintings and his huge skies.

Thank you–I wasn’t familiar with Turner but looked him up–he did like to portray the beauty of clouds and light–he is a wonderful discovery for me — there is no end to the variety of scenery up in the sky 🙂

gorgeous photos! At least you have picturesque snow lying around! I have the frigid cold but no snow to make it at least look pretty.

Be careful what you wish for:) I can relate actually. It felt strange a while ago to have winter with no snow.

Quite true! It’s supposed to snow/sleet/rain tonight and tomorrow here. I guess Mother Nature heard my complaint….

Personally I prefer the second set of shots Janice – altho all are beautiful. That first snow scene is magical!

Thank you:) I’m not sure which ones I prefer but it was fun revisiting the shots though there was a lot more cold and snow this time.
