Hi, DUers! A post-Christmas Friday Afternoon Challenge for you: “The Beautiful Couples!”

[Aerows]

54. Here's an idea

Maybe on the next challenge, take a thematic element from a painting and only display a certain portion of it (the most important part - you are the expert, I'm sure you know what that is in each painting). Then as the paintings are guessed, display the whole image and guess what is the common theme. That way it's a harder to cheat.

Make sense? It could be fun for a one off. I don't know how to totally prevent cheating, but I don't know enough about art other than to suggest things that will throw Google Image search off. Using just the thematic elements and removing the rest and having folks guess which is the artist or the genre would work.

Hope that helps, and PLEASE don't stop these, CTYankee, just because some bonehead has to come in and cheat. Many of us that show up in these threads week after week truly enjoy them (even when, like me, they don't know very much). I've learned a lot from these threads. I still love some of the still life pics with the bold colors you've chosen.
