I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in this but I thought I'd give it a go.
It's an offshoot of the photography thread.
So, the challenge is to think of a painting that you would like to replicate by any art method including photographically and then post both here.
Autonomistic You have posted a Van Gogh look alike but I won't post it here on your behalf.
Here's mine:

Here's a challenge to any of our resident artists. Feel free to take it on or not.
The Monarch of the Glen by Sir Edwin Landseer is one of my favourite paintings. Whenever I'm in Edinburgh I always visit the Scottish National Gallery in the hope that it will be on display. It is a truly magnificent painting. This is a photo I took of it on my most recent visit.
A couple of you have already demonstrated your amazing ability in other recent threads on here.

I'm no artist so this is my contribution by photograph, nowhere near comparable I know.
Thank you.
That article agrees with me!
I found this document online, which someone has clearly put a lot of effort into. It seems very plausible to me.

Sorry thanks x
Autonomistic said: It wasn't intentionally taken with Van Gogh in mind.
I love your photo and it does bear an uncanny resemblance to VG's wheat fields.
I have wondered if he was autistic, for several reasons, but one being how he liked to paint the same things over and again eg. wheat field and sunflowers.
Yikes I'll see what I can do lol
It's only an idea eg. a photo of an apple.
There is no expectation.
Just do it if you enjoy it.
That's amazing ^^
I bet if he could see this he would be so blessed and happy.
Yours is also just a really nice photo in its own right.
Yikes I'll see what I can do lol :p
Don't expect anything good though
I'm rubbish at being creative.
Great idea.
This was the photograph I posted. It wasn't intentionally taken with Van Gogh in mind.
The Van Gogh wheat field originals are many and varied and include:
I hope you upload something.
I wish I was creative
You could just do a Magritte apple?
Ooh! I like this idea!
I will consider this...
Really great idea ^^
I wish I was creative but I'll get just as much enjoyment seeing everyone else's creativity.
Your art remake is really good by the way :)
