Artistic Interpretations 1 - Coney Island, NY


Welcome to Artistic Interpretations.  Above is a vintage Coney Island postcard.

This is a brand new challenge and this is the first post.  Ponder the whole image or a slice of it.  You may use a beach that is close to your heart as I realize not everyone is familiar nor has visited Coney Island, but allow this image to influence your creativity.   But if you are familiar with Coney Island, please consider sharing your artistic view of it!

You may interpret this image in any artistic way that pleases you.  Poetry, Prose, Drawing, Painting, Quilting, Photography, Junk Journaling, etc. 

One may link work that has already been done, an old poem, perhaps a poem reworked, a sketch from a few years ago.  I like to celebrate work that has been done (but it must relate to the theme)

Of course, new work inspired by this image is highly regarded as well!  I prefer new, but we all have pieces we would like to share again, so please do.

One may post more than one entry - up to three if they are of different artistic natures.  For example, I will be posting a poem I wrote in the summer of 2019 and will be sketching a new image inspired by a photograph I took while at Coney Island.

There are three requirements.

1)  Link your specific blog post to Mr. Linky (NOT your blog itself).

2)  Please link this challenge at the bottom of your blog post.

3)   Please visit and comment on the other entries.  This challenge will remain open from the 1st-15th (midnight) and then the next challenge will be posted the 15th to the end of the month.  Be sure to check back throughout the two weeks this prompt remains open in order to give support to those who link up later.

Thank you, and I look forward to your Artistic Interpretations.  If you have any questions, please leave them in comments.

  2. Thank you Margaret, for starting this. I have missed your feature, I like to dream to a picture and then try to convey my dream a bit.
    BTW, I have written a postcard from Coney Island to my Father (I was a young feminist lass and he was the "Rev".
    I also wrote a tribute poem to David Bowie with a line, slightly recurring (2 times), "Sailing over Coney island". I may link the postcard but will try to write to yours.
    Thanks again. Oh yes, I've been to Coney Island only once, on a damp and off and on light rainy day. It was almost empty.
