Welcome to March ...

We are now making it even easier to enter our challenges - use our inlinkz gallery on the left or click onto our new Facebook public group (ARTastic challenges) and put your entry directly into our monthly album under photos.

This month our inspiration comes to you by Poncho Army with Freedom in Ruins.

CRITERIA - Monochromatic (can be any colour)

A little about Poncho Army ...

Trina Collins, who works under the pseudonym Poncho Army, is an artist who isn’t afraid to get some paint under her fingernails. The central theme for Poncho Army’s art is the exploration of contrasts – between urban and rural spaces, between internal and external realities, between melancholy and joy. She loves to capture youthful innocence and often draws upon her experiences growing up in a shrinking rural landscape to gather inspiration for her work.


And now some inspiration from our team ...

I chose pink.burgandy hues this month for my monochrome layout. This photo was taken 19 years ago the day after our wedding. I printed the photo in greyscale to tone in with the layout. I hope you like it!

I thought I'd choose black as my momochromatic colour. I dont think I have ever created a just black layout before.

  1. I'm glad you're accepting entries on FB too. I had a hard time posting my entry yesterday due to the size of my photo. It wasn't too big to post elsewhere though.

  2. Good looking Interior painting of your home is one the most important thing so that when you enter your home it gives you a pleasant look which makes you happy and refreshes your mood. Moreover, it builds your great impression in front of your guests and society. It will only happen if you give this responsibility to an extraordinary professionalism company. A One Korean Painting is well known for its exterior and interior painting in Sydney. If you looking for professional painters in Sydney then schedule your consultation with A One Korean Painting.
