∎ The Rauhnächte are a centuries-old ritual from the Celtic and Germanic tradition that accompanies us to this day. Between December 24th and January 6th, it is important to use the "time outside of time" - for reflection, letting go and a fresh start.

∎ The Raunächte refer to the time between Christmas Eve and January 6th. There are numerous customs in many cultures for these 12 nights between the years. This is what lies behind the millennia-old rituals.

Created for Artistic Manipulation Group:

CHEF dsm8954 calls this challenge “Tag, You’re it” and wants us to use graffiti (plus other elements) to emphasize the contrast between real world and artistically created ingredients. (Read carefully and don't skip the footnotes! Lots of details here to absorb.)

➤ Your image must use a color SOOC* image of a surface, such as a wall, train car, barn, bridge, old box truck, etc.

➤ You must use self-created**, hand-drawn-looking graffiti on this surface (graphic drawings and/or typography).

➤ The subject of the graffiti must relate to LOVE.

➤ Your image must contain at least one non-human creature (bird, ape, giant grasshopper, alien, etc.) that is part of the overall scene, outside of the graffiti. (Cartoon characters are allowed if not copyrighted material.)

➤ No added textures outside of the graffiti.

Could little Ollie the Opossum actually 'fall' for a graffiti princess? No pun intended....

A summation point of the "Classic Re-Mixes" that preceded this image. Being unable to resist SOTN's challenge ( I was an abstract painter for 15 years before coming to the photographic arts ), I thought a good place to take this Classical Re-Mix thing before moving on would be into abstraction.

Here, I've done that with a lot of Monet's and a van Gogh, which lends a lovely "brushstroke" feeling to the texture of this and the following piece "A New Europa". Everything you see in these two pieces comes from painting except for some glowing edges and a bit of bevelling I applied to certain shapes.

Classical painting images sourced from Google Images.
