Image of original Chagall painting
Another creative idea for a challenge theme! We were challenged to choose an image from an artist we admire, and incorporate it into a piece of our own art. I chose La Baie des Anges by Marc Chagall, for its mermaid theme, colors, whimsy, and sense of childlike play. I expanded her surroundings in my digital collage to include other colorful and fanciful ocean creatures. This is another piece I can gaze at to counteract the chilly effects of winter around me!

What a special Chagall-like art offering! Your colors are perfect, and you've captured his style beautifully. Bravo, my dear. Thank you for joining us in this week's challenge!
The minute I opened this I knew which artist you had chosen. Such distinctive imagery and your collage setting is so beautifully created!

Every piece you post is a new and beautiful experience! I love the colors, the swirls, the composition. And especially the style.
Great idea and fantastic choice. Wonderful what you have done with it!
So bright and cheerful, Sherry, and just what we need on a dull January day! Thank you.
Another artist for me to Google. This is such a perfect collage Sherry. I love it. xx
I really love what you have done with the Chagall. He is one of my favs as well. Had the opportuniuty to see the Chagall wall in Chicago a couple of years ago...it is still very vivid in my mind.
thanks for bringing back the memories, sherry.

Chagalls paintings are so happy and colourful and you did him justice with that collage
What you did with the Chagall is just wonderful!
Fabulous piece and you captured the mood Beautifully.
Sorry I am late with my comments. It seems I am always playing catch-up these days.
Your mermaid artpiece is exquisite. I love your choice of artist and you have done him proud. Superb in every way. Wow!
I love what you did with this Chagall painting and also love what you have said about gazing at a painting to counter the effects of the cold winter! I felt the same way when I worked with the painting by Pierre Bonnard on my blog. I invite you to take a look! I hope it makes you feel warmer as well!
