click to embiggen |
I posted Banquet Scene with a Lute Player by Nicolas Tournier, 1625,
last week, and had several requests for it to be a Magpie prompt.
Happy writing, my friends.
This is a rough draft. May tweak later. Terrific prompt. : )
ReplyDeleteNice- so many stories here! thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust having a bit of fun with this one!
ReplyDeleteIs enbiggen a word? Anyway cool prompt.
ReplyDeleteSorry, back to the fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteHeehee, yeah, embiggen. Don't you love it?
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with 'enlarge'? LOL
ReplyDeleteI may have lowered the tone, this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is so very much fun ... thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt...endless possibilities! Great fun...thanks! Vb
ReplyDeleteThis went several ways until I almost pinned it down . . .
ReplyDeleteInteresting one - a challange! An excercise in embiggening!
ReplyDeleteGee, that was a toughy but extremely good fun! Thanks for the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWe can always count on you for fresh, trendy info: From a recent episode of The Simpsons ...
ReplyDelete'A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man' !!!!
Love it.
Way more than 67..IRONICUS MAXIMUS.
ReplyDeleteRUTH BOGEN..ER!
ReplyDeleteTess, just climbed on board.

ReplyDeleteThis one took me on an adventure of discovery...
ReplyDeleteI really like this one..thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of fun with this! Thanks Tess!

Great pic, and I love the embiggen bit :) Thanks.
ReplyDeletetess i love the painting - it's like a nexus point for an unimaginable number of stories ad poems. steven
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture when I embiggen it. Wonder what it would be like if ensmallened? :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tess, a great picture to work with
ReplyDeleteIt's likely my current frame of mind, but the man on the far left of the image, looking away from the rest, put me in touch with our solitary reality...
ReplyDeleteHehehe! I have embiggened the "octain" form. The prompt, Tess . . another gift to the deranged mind. . .
ReplyDeleteCouldnt resist a second one, for fun.
ReplyDeleteTess,
ReplyDeleteLiked working with this one. You, too, play it safe and sane over the Memorial Day.

Well, I made it, a bit late. Thanks Tess.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, lovelies! This one was a bit trickier than the others I've done, but I'm up and posted.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting prompt, yes?
I love going where the Magpie prompts take me! such fun!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I just wrote a poem on sculpture, immediately after which I saw this painting! And the underlying meaning that I saw in both made me wanna post the poem for this magpie!
ReplyDeleteLOVED the prompt, Tess! Thanks..
Like therapy, this one was.
ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous break, Tess. You deserve it!
Dear Magpies: Found this a difficult prompt as I did not know which way I should go. Anyway my poem is really embarrassing and I apologize profusely. What can I do? I know little about Tournier! This I feel will be remedied with all the fine work yet to read! Thank-you for educating me re: this amazing artist!
ReplyDeleteTook my artistic license a ways and interpreted away with those facial expressions, body language, and lighting. The young woman looks like she's in trouble, so I wrote a poem from the perspective of the man facing us, who seems to know it, too.
ReplyDeleteTuned in a little later than usual Tess.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the prompt. Happy Holiday!
Thanks for hosting this. =)
ReplyDeleteI got here late, glad you are here. As I teach school, today was a free day, and for me that means time to play with words. I'm almost glad I had a week to mull the painting over. The ghostly servant kept coming back to me, demanding attention. Anyhew...thanks!

tess-hope you had a lovely weekend and as always, thanks for the inspiration...c
