Added 2024-01-02 00:10:51 +0000 UTC

The prompt submissions this month made me remember why I love doing them. Good Job Everybody. I like seeing what everyone comes up with every month. But for this one especially I enjoyed the strength and variety of the submissions. Every new one that I opened made me go "yeeesssss."

Lulu Said: "an inner landscape exists in constant motion, so this was the outlet for a months worth of thoughts and feelings. sometimes emotions don’t make sense in words, i get lost trying to articulate them until they’re swept away and replaced. and because of that, the landscape came to be a collection of abstract self portraits. i can see my own emotions reflected back at me and i was able to capture the candy colored chaos of my thoughts."

Kat Said: "I had so much fun with this prompt. I asked anyone I came across the difference between a map and a landscape. Only 1 person out of 20 required a horizon, so I tried to play with it to morph the landscape from an overhead view (still a landscape to most!) to a human line of sight in the same image. I'm generally a bright and cheerful person, although i have a few darker places. I also sometimes (knowingly) pump a little gunk into my psyche. My favorite flower is the daffodil!"

I love the map Idea, I love the idea of the horizon turning it to the landscape. I love the daffolils I love the...other flowers. I actually didn't notice them at first. Very nice piece. The art piece. not the...whatever. Anyways. Great work!

Katrin Said: "For an inner landscape, I try to paint until the feeling when looking at the painting becomes more and more similar to the feeling when looking inside. I'm constantly painting inner landscapes and here I've simply selected four of my recent ones that I feel at home in."

The Inner Landscapes idea originated with Katrin. I really love her work and look forward to seeing it and was not disappointed.

Mallory

Mallory's reminds me of David Lynch's paintings. I love the thread/ yarn idea.

Tia Said: "This piece has a lot to do with the chaos in my mind while I deal with my mental health.

Constantly feeling trapped inside my head, a negative charge surrounds me, continuously zapping me with unwanted thoughts.

The burning brew of worrisome anxieties build up slowly deep within, choking me with its piercing grip. No matter where I go, I’m held back by this dense darkness… never letting me go. Always unable to escape its grasp.

Those thoughts begin to accumulate, laying dormant inside my mind until I feel this overwhelming warmth come over me. I continue to swallow it down hard, trying to hold the chaotic pressure from bursting. That is until one day, I unexpectedly explode uncontrollably with raging anger! The intensity of madness is so over bearing, I become over flooded with an clusterfuck of emotions spewing out of me!

I have absolutely no control… I can’t don’t do anything… all I can do is wait for the storm to blow over and see the damage it has done as it settles. Can be days…. weeks…. months… years! It’s unpredictable, uncontrollable, incurable."
