Week 1: Juli's "The Gnome Came To BA"

(( Click on the image to enlarge ))

We finally have our first entry. Juli took the first place in the contest delivering his piece of
art called "The Gnome Came To BA".
At first glance the painting displays a large variety of colors wich generates a nice atmosphere, and it is inevitable to trace a paralelism with Juli's colorful cake for the last contest. Clearly, he really likes rainbows.
The gnome has obviously been replaced by a stunt doble for this painting, because he doesn't quite look like the actual Travelocity gnome, but still has nice details and even though we can tell it's a fake gnome, it looks pretty good.
Evidently Juli lost interest at the end because if you notice the two pedestrians that are walking by in the background, they're just doodles, and not very good ones. In fact they scare me a little bit. They look like they've been burnt alive or something.
Another unrealistic thing about this picture is how nice and friendly BA appears to be... Try adding a huge traffic jam and some car smoke, then we can start to get a bit closer to reality. But aside from all this, we're getting a nice piece of art to start our gallery, we'll see what the people have to comment about this.
See you next week!
