I couldn't resist showing this contrast between "surreals" - one a fine feathered female and the other a Miss Plane Jane in vintage style.In the first picture , I used a background and feathers (cut and pasted) by Creative Wing Designs, image is a Kubivet freebie, man a Flickr free image and background paper used to build birdhouse by Irene Alexeeva.
In the second, a much simpler list of credits. Image by Outsider-Artists, typewriter keys by Carla Gibson. Background and umbrella Googled.

ReplyDeleteTwo 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' masterpieces, Marie!!
Had to say 'Mary Drop-in' a few times before it registered!!! DUH!
This was a great challenge, thanks Marie!
Apologies for the 'egsmshi', that was the word verification!!
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant Marie- you really captured the style gloriously- this was quite a challenge- really made me think and explore!
ReplyDeleteThese are both wonderful! I love the "Mary Drop-In" play on words! You might see an entry from me if I can get away from working so much! ~Lori
ReplyDeleteWow Marie your digital work is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteWonderful elements and design. Love them.
I love the style surreal, but I feel I have never been able to accomplish the art. Your art is amazing. I love to makeup a story about the image. Fun had by all! Big Hug!
ReplyDeleteLike the really focused lighting effect you've got in the first highlighting the bird-housed Fashionista...but it's the 2d that gave me a chuckle, and a second take...nice tongue-firmly-in-cheek acknowledgement to Magritte as well in this!
ReplyDeleteYour talent is a wondrous thing, Marie. These are both exceptional!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a chic chick! ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea and I love the way you did it. Mary Poppins is also very beautiful.
I want also thank you for this great challenge, it was so fun to do it!
This are such wonderfuls examples of surrealism. Thanks for a creative theme and the excellent samples! I always appreciate your supportive comments! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLove your surrealistic collages, both are awesome ! And the playing with words you do is really fun :D (don't you just love the Mary Poppins film :D) The colours are vibrant but not screaming *thumbs up*.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you live near Beach Road ! Maybe you should go out there when the weather is really bad and check out if you see Mister Muir somehwere, haha ! Thank you for your compliment *blush* English is not my first language indeed, i am dutch, living in Norway :)
Word salad already :) Fun challenge and great inspiration. Your pieces are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely amazing marie!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning, Marie! Love your feathered woman - and Mary Dropin, LOL - awsome play of words! :D I look so much forward to your challenges every week, so much fun and always inspiring :D
ReplyDeleteHey, I just love your bird-lady watching from her bird-house! Her feathers are so beautiful. Great symbolism in your surreal image, too! - Thanks for this fantastic challenge!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic theme Marie and your two contrasting pieces are just wonderful. Like always I can only look at them open mouthed, - so many different elements and so cleverly put together, amazing!
ReplyDeleteBoth so superb! Look browsing your blog.
ReplyDeleteBoy, Marie, you have this theme NAILED! It's great! The elements are used so perfectly...you always create such great art. LynnF
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful but I think I am partial to the Mary Drop In's You do surreal so extremely well Marie! Hope to see more! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour art is fantastic, Marie.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant creations.
Marie, love both! My favorite is the fine feminine feathered beauty. Gorgeous plumes! I love your interpretation of surreal. The background colors are a perfect setting for your feathered diva!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love these. Kim
ReplyDeleteMarie, You have one wild and crazy mind and tons of creative talent! I love surrealism and you have done it proud. Last week I spent 4 hours at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I wish you had beeen there with me!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Alberta
These both are totally, incredibly, awesome! You are very talented and clever!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these look great, Marie! And I like the play on words. It made me chuckle. And thank you for your continuing encouragement.
ReplyDeleteHello Marie
ReplyDeletehow nice that a muse stopped by my blog.
But I have to admitt that the cards you laud are not made by me. They are a giveaway I won from Julie- Ann.
But the rest is mine.
All the best
Janine
Oh, Marie! Both pieces are beyond wonderful! This was a super challenge and really helped me to grow artistic (surreal!) wings. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new form of art.
ReplyDeleteBack to your pieces! Delightful, wonderful, creative and fun! The "nanny" piece blew me away (pardon the pun!)Hats off and Bravo! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Your surreal artwork is as fabulous as all you do, Marie...both are so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMarie I thought I'd commented but see I have not. Did I dream it?
ReplyDeleteI love both of these but one of my favourites of yours is the one of Prince Charles in trainers (over and over again in the sky)- it's one of my screensavers!! So my very favourite of the two you have on your blog is the Mary Pop Ins. It just cracks me up.
Mary Drop in ..I love it! And the lady in the bird house too!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! A delight for the eyes!
Then I got it wrong .... I see it's Mary Drop In. Haa haa. No hope for me.
ReplyDeleteoh I love both of them but the "mary drop in" is my fav.As soon as I seen that one I thought of mary poppins and then I read it. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteOkay, wait . . . these are my all time favorites! See, you are so dang talented it is hard to chose. I adore these in every way. Love the colors, the images, the idea - every little detail! Oh my, I love, love, love them!
