For our post this week, Tracy of Reflections of an Untidy Mind chose Surreal as the topic. A great subject but unfortunately one I am not familiar with! Actually, I don’t think anyone has ever mentioned my name and the word Surreal in the same sentence. This should give you an idea as to why I feel outside of my comfort zone!
I found a few pictures from the New England Aquarium in Boston, MA, which might fit the definition of Surreal after some editing with Photoshop and Topaz software. If Andy Warhol decided to paint a surreal looking jelly fish, do you think it might be as colorful as this one?
This is different surreal look at another type of jelly fish.
Here are a couple of creepy ghost fish are floating above some squiggly-looking white debris with random bits of color below.
This might be my best attempt yet at creating a surreal image!
Don’t think I did justice to Tracy’s topic on Surrealisn, altought it was fun to learn more about this art form and experiment some. Be sure to check out her post here to see some surreal pictures. Yes, this was a stretch for me (not a bad thing); and another time it might be fun to create a collage of visual puns. Hope you enjoyed seeing these pictures anyway!
