Welcome to another edition of Style Imitating Art! If you’re new to the blog, or just need a refresher, Style Imitating Art is a really cool idea pairing fashion with art. Last year, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! Shelbee selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to Shelbee by Tuesday, September 9th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
Shelbee says, ” Since we post the art on Labor Day, I wanted to feature a piece that celebrated work. After a quick Google search, I discovered the artwork of Paul Raphael Meltsner. He was an American artist from Harlem who is widely recognized for his paintings from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era…perfect for a Labor Day painting! “

A lovely piece of artwork.
Thanks, Rosie! It’s really unusual, but I love the colors and the shapes!
I’m very curious to see what you do with this piece! It’s an interesting one.
I really love the colors in this one. I think I know what I’m doing, but it may be all wrong!
Another interesting one!
Thanks, Cat! Yeah, it’s very different, but I really like it. I think I can meet the challenge…at least, I hope I can!
I am curious how you will style this one! I fear I would be terrible at these.
Thanks, Erin! I am, too! Hahaha!! I love the colors so I think I’m going to go at it that way, but who knows! I almost always do these last minute!
This is going to be very interesting. Perfect choice for the season.
Thanks, Aletha! That’s what I think, too!
