Style Imitating Art
Tuesday, January 12, 2021Just a quick one for me today, and something a little different. I've just read Kezzie's Style Imitating Art post, and whilst I've always enjoyed reading these I've never taken part - until today.
I was wearing a white shirt under a mustard jumper and realised how easy it would be for me to change my earrings, bung a blue snood on my head and ta-dah! I would be transformed into Vermeer's The Girl with the Pearl Earring - a painting that I have always loved!
It very much reminded me of a viral challenge that emerged during the first lockdown where people recreated famous works of art at home, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and this presented the perfect opportunity for me to have a go myself.
Below are some links if you'd like to see some of these recreated artworks. Some are genius, some are funny, some ridiculous but they're all worth a look!
It was a nice distraction to what had started out as a bit of a
frustrating day, and really lifted my mood. Style Imitating Art has a
new host this week, Terri, and you can see everyone's interpretations on her blog tomorrow.
I hope you're well and staying safe and sane.

Hello Hazel,
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the SIA this week. Thank you for sending in your idea. I'm going to add your blog to my People to Read + Places To Go list. Take care, Terri
Thanks Terri, this was an excellent choice of artwork - one of my favourites.

hilarious and such a welcome break from all the seriousness of life! I looked at the other participants (dog wins)
ReplyDeleteDogs always win :) there are hundreds of these to be found on the internet if you want to see more.

How serendipitous you were already wearing a white shirt and mustard jumper! What a fun challenge! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was fun :)

Oh my word, what a stunning interpretation and you did it without even having to dress up! I've always loved that painting too. Have you read the Tracey Chevalier book? xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks :) It was serendipitous that I was wearing just the right thing.
DeleteI haven't read the book but feel I should. I've seen the film that was out a few years ago with Colin Firth (I think it was him).

Hazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!!!! You BEAUTY! Thank you so much for joining in!!!!! This looks absolutely incredible!!!! Yay for you! Your look is perfect and you actually look like a painting! Plus you even found a dark background!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. I stood against a dark door and with the help of an Instagram filter I was able to make it a bit darker :)
DeleteGlad you like it, I'm pleased with how it came out.

I love to see people's take on things like this, absolutely love the dog one and some of them are so clever.
ReplyDeleteThey're fun aren't they? This is what happens when you are forced to get creative to fill your time :)

I have been following SIA for quite some time as well and only participated for the first time for the final one of 2020. It is so fun and keeps me inspired! I really love how you created your look the same as the girl in the painting! That is what I was going for, too. I only had a dark blue turban to wear, but I am really liking the color of your blue snood even better!

Thanks for popping over and leaving a comment. It was good fun to take part and took little time as I was already wearing a yellow jumper and white shirt.
