Symbolism and Surrealism

Well this project was a bit of a challenge. I'm not used to having to imagine stuff. I wasn't much grabbed by the exercises suggested, but enjoyed browsing the internet looking at Dali, Picasso and a chap called Hieronymous Bosch (Dutch painter, 1450-1516 approx). What a fantastic name, our next guinea pig will definitely be Hieronymous, or possibly Jerome as apparently that is the English translation (not so much fun, but fine for a GP).

I particularly liked this painting

What amazing faces

I later found out that maybe he didn't paint it at all......possibly a "fake" a few hundred years later, still pretty good.

I decided I'd do a sort of modern parody, I liked the four in the corner and concentrated on them.

This my effort, I'd explain it but that wouldn't be in the true spirit of symbolism would it? I'm not too pleased by it, kind of lost interest a little half way through, but fun to try something different.
