DeviantArt Web site

I recently discovered a Web site called www.deviantart.com. It’s touted as the largest online art community in the world, tracking the works of new emerging and established artists. I found a large number of my images, which have been either changed, enhanced or re-interpreting. Their mission statement says, “Our community provides a unique collective effort that seeks to create and sustain collaborative relationships with artists.”

I appreciate and embrace the fact that novice and seasoned artists alike use my images as inspirations for creating new pieces of art on this online medium. My art is giving these Deviant Artists a way for them to explore romantic realism and the encourage Luminists of both old and new.

Here are three images of mine re-interpreted from artist featured on http://www.deviantart.com/:



Thomas Kinkade's I
“This is an oil on canvas. An imitation of Thomas Kinkade’s Petals of Hope.”
-CosmicWinds

Kinkade Study
“I had an assignment for my Contemporary Art class, and it was to (for me) make a painting similar to the style of Thomas Kinkade. Did I pull it off? Probably not. The amount of detail he puts into his paintings is ridiculous! So I went for his "highlighting" deal and tried to mimic that as best I could. This was pretty fun to do overall. Not often do I paint environments with colors.” -Geeshin

Thomas Kinkade's The Garden of Promise: A Reproduction
"Our professor in landscape asked us to reproduce a landscape picture or a painting so I chose this because of the painting's magnificent lightings."
-EiYa

Thank you for posting this, sir! DeviantArt does have a lot of hidden gems in their galleries. In this day and age, art needs to be discussed more.
