I made a collage using classical artwork combined with a manipulation of the black and white line drawings from the Waite-Smith all this done in Paint Shop.
The idea behind it was the lovers as image and as symbol, and who where better than the original lovers Adam & Eve, with the choice element (represented by the apple Eve is presenting her lover) and under them in the background the result of the choice namely expulsion from the “Garden of Eden”, result i gave a bright red color (what in it’s turn contrasts with the soothing blue from the titles.

You know, la luna.. what got me really, really worked up are the tiny tiles in the background. They are awesome!

And after reading your post, I noticed the red background had images in them too! How delightful.. I love pictures like these where clues are hidden everywhere and you have to find them to see the entire tapestry.

Good job!!

Wow! Just found this thread. Everyone has submitted such wonderful pieces already . I have a few ideas floating around, let's see if I can get something finished before the deadline. Quick question, Major Tom- Do we need to have prior experience working on a deck? If I read the post right, it's open to all ATers?

Thanks Major Tom. My entry is a picture of a faerie I painted last summer, a 9X11" oil.
