Can you believe we are already in November? I feel like this year has moved so fast and so slow all at the same time. How is that even possible? Regardless of how it's happened, we have arrived at the next to the last month of 2025 and it's time for a new challenge.
This month, I am hosting the Artist Inspiration Challenge. This is one of my favorite challenges and I have hosted it many times. In the past, I have introduced y'all to a number of different artists but we are gonna do something a little different this month. This month, we are going to look at a style of art: landscapes.
I have chosen a number of different landscapes from which y'all can draw inspiration for y'all's pages. Each of these images comes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access program and are in the public domain. When you are done with this challenge, I highly recommend browsing through the collection. There is so much to see and inspiration to find.
Here are links to all the layouts if you want to see them in greater detail.
1. 東海道五十三次 江尻 from Utagawe Hiroshige
2. Young Man on a Riverbank from Umberto Boccioni
3. Wildflowers from Ruger Donoho
4. Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct from Theodore Gericault
5. The Artist's Garden at Saint-Clair from Henri-Edmond Cross
6. Farm in Moonlight from Daniel Koerner
7. Valley with Fir from Henri-Edmond Cross
8. Scene from "Thanatopsis" from Asher Brown Dumond
9. High Bridge, New York from Henry Ward Ranger
For this challenge, I want you to choose two of the landscapes included on the mood board above from which to draw inspiration for your page. Please do not include the landscapes on your page. When you post your page, please let us know which two landscapes inspired your page.
My page for the challenge. My inspiration came from painting number two (David in the photo) and painting seven (the blue, green and yellow color scheme).
