The sunday challenge = your image that has something to do with the new year. It may be an archive shot, never posted before ----------------------------------------------------------- Happy New Year for you all!! My personel challenge for the new year is to bring more fun into my images. Maybe you do recognise the first girl from the famous painting of Johannes Vermeer. I met the second girl during the summer of 2010. I think they are a perfect match. -------------------------------------------------------------

The sunday challenge = Ribbons and bows ----------------------------------------------------------- Kitsch is art or other objects that appeal to popular rather than high art tastes. Such objects are sometimes appreciated in a knowingly ironic or humorous way. The word was first applied to artwork that was a response to certain divisions of 19th-century art with aesthetics that favored what later art critics would consider to be exaggerated sentimentality and melodrama. Hence, 'kitsch art' is closely associated with 'sentimental art'. Kitsch is also related to the concept of camp, because of its humorous and ironic nature.

The Sunday Challenge = November ------------------------------------------------- A selfie, my shadow in really amazing light, that reflects trees on the tiles of my bathroom. The coloured leaves, the low sun and the type of light, with the first frost during the night are my association with november.
