Posted this same challenge in a JE yesterday, but it seems my friends just aren’t in the mood to play this time, so on advice, I decided to see how it might fare here. Seems Jo also has a special interest in the matter, so thought perhaps all of you good people here might like to help her out.

I’ll start this off with my own 8 choices to get the ball rolling, and share with you what moves me right now and why.

All images are clickable and will lead to the artist. Don’t yet know how to make an image a link ? you will find some easy instructions here.

My Home Page – I though this little exercise would be long and hard, after all, there are so many images here at RB that move me for various reasons, yet I found myself drawn to the same images again and again. Currently I find myself really drawn to the abstract genre. The pieces that make the most impact usually, (not always as you’ll notice), consist of bold lines, a strong emphasis on geometrical shapes and are usually a solid, (not mandatory), but always vibrant colour/s. I rarely do abstract work myself but can’t seem to resist a great abstract piece right now. I think my choices says a lot about where I’m at at the moment. I don’t want or need more ‘distractions’ or clutter in my life right now, is this reflected in the fact that I am currently gravitating toward more simple, geometric and linear forms in art, and suggesting perhaps I am looking for more ‘order’ in my own space?

There is so much going on and to be concerned about right now in the world, so I wondered, because the art we are drawn to is not static, and prone to change like our taste in music might be, how it also reflects our current state of mind? Considering the state of things right now, and the idea that I have never really been attracted to abstract art before, I wondered if there was a correlation?... and was interested in hearing others feelings on the idea.

EDIT added Mon 20th Oct –
Good to see other’s are taking up the cause! You can view more HP selections here and here

That’s one very interesting spread Martin, especially The Elk Hunk .

For aesthetic purposes, lets say everyone gets to pick a spare.
Oh and would you care to share how you stacked your selection so neatly? I did try but with no luck, I must be missing something. It’s T-eeing me off seeing my selection all random.

Ok tried this, didn’t work. Got a little confused re exclamation marks and/or quotation marks

I think I know how to stack image links (as in my PF), but these are not linked to a destination url.
Might help if me, and others not in the know, if you could demonstrate it on the links below, (without the No spaces), if you would be so kind Martin?

I am in a dandelion mood right now, so here are a few of my favourite dandelion images:

Whoo Hoo…give me a lazy Sunday morning and I can fugure anything out (sssheesh, took me long enough!) Thanks Martin.

@ Amanda…Lurve your selection, those images really appeal to me, (I wonder why? lol).

@ Natalie, I’m a fan of Dandies too. Great selection…I especially love this! Haahaha

Thanks for participating guys and gals, & for giving me some more great art to add to my favs.

Ok !! here they r!!! people yay!!

Like I said before Melissa, your choices showcase just how beautifully diverse our world is, a wonderful inclusive selection!

Ooh la la Adrianna, some killer heels right there…
And for sure you can do more than one, nothing stopping you gal…so go for it!

I have been inspired by a colour scheme so I’m going to do another one :D

Wow Natalie, that colour scheme rocks…what a great selection!

Linaji, thanks for sharing a little about how you chose your HP and why. Great stuff!

Some really great ideas Joanne, I do believe we have had HP’s that have features Canada and the US, not sure about the UK.
I especially like your idea of offering a Home Page selection as a challenge win prize, what a great incentive!

Today’s Home Page

Thanks Martin

Way to go Jo…How brilliant!

Wow! That is a vibrant and very eyecatching selection Elana. I’m a big fan of HDR and you sure picked some great artwork here.
