In college I took a painting class. One of our assignments was to find a famous painting and paint only a portion of it. For some reason I picked the most creepy thing I could paint. Once I painted it I had to turn it around because it creeped everyone out. (BTW...I also painted a trio of Mickey Mouses in the class, one of which hangs in my son's room & 2 were given to a friend for a shower present.)

Wow, you definitely picked an interesting painting to work from! Although slightly creepy, your painting is very well done. I'm very impressed Melanie!
Lovely no matter how creepy it is.. tis the season for creepy it might keep the bad kids away!
WOW!! Who knew you were such an awesome ARTIST???!!! uh, oh yeah.....WE ALL DID!!! You have such a gift! Thank you for sharing it with us! :D
Yes! I imagine that this could be the headless horseman's noble steed! Great Post!
Stopping by from SITS!!! Happy Tuesday!!
That is great...perfect for Halloween, tee hee!
Jamie :)
Oh, I hated that lesson! We had to do the same and I remember thinking, "this is not right. I am stealing someone's work." As if mine would exceed the greatness of Edvard Munch and thereafter, the painting would be known as my creation. (I guess I might have been a tad delusional).
Yours looks great and gosh darn it, I like creepy.
Not creepy! I love it, great job! Happy Sits!
What I think is especially funny is how girly and sweet your blog is and then to see that you would pick such a "scary" picture to recreate... You are just a closet rebel perhaps?
I think it looks awesome! Not so creep to me either!!
=D
That is awesome! What an interesting assignment!
I think that's great - it is a bit dreamscape like.
At least yours didn't turn out as creepy as the original!
You did well! :)
I dont' find it so creepy
That's awesome, but not as creepy as you think. Remember Phoebe's creations on the show "Friends"? Now THAT was creepy. Lovely painting talent, really. =)
How cool! I had to take some painting courses in college too (majored in Graphic Design). I stunk, though. I loved the paint, and painting, but I had no talent what-so-ever in the painting department. You did GREAT!!
Well I guess the horse is better than the dead lady! You did a good job too.
Wow - I'm impressed!
