Inspired by Itkupilli's 'Marilyn Antoinette' I created a portrait of the previously unknown seventh wife of Henry VIII 'Mona of Cleves' ; and what better place to give her her first public appearance but this challenge.
Here she is
Mona and her Alter Egos
And here is how I made her
Ali, you've done it again, another splendid entry & your humour has shown up again - stunning!
ReplyDeletegreat work Ali!!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun and clever :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Ali, as always...what a great group of images you have chosen. Love it...so detailed. BTW, 5 more lessons to go...thanks to you!! Hugs, Gayle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Ali!!!
ReplyDeleteI just typed in a long comment and it disappeared!! Strange a-happenings on the blog. Now, where was I? Ali, you should bottle your brain and preserve it for posterity. Your work is so clever, so thoroughly original and so funny. Who else would have thought of giving Mona an alter ego. I have been chuckling away to myself which is wonderful but then I go back and see the work and creativity you have put into your pictures. Your blog is such a joy. Standing ovation from me!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteFabulous work!
ReplyDeleteAli you blow me away with your art, but this one has to be one of my all time favourites. You rock my friend.
ReplyDeleteI find myself smiling before I even get to your blog.
ReplyDeleteWith great anticipation I come here to have a look.
Bravo on another clever piece.

This is brilliant! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteAh, Ali, I'm becoming a groupie! This is outstanding! I just love Mona of Cleves, but she's covered her cleves with all that lace! ....or is it some other cleves I should be thinking of??? Anyway, this is meticulously done, hilariously funny, and just a wonderful addition to our gallery of windows this week. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Ali- I always love your humor and beauty mix- so stunning and clever!
ReplyDeleteWell, you seem to be a genius in revealing historical secrets - as well as in making fantastically hilarious collages!
ReplyDeleteI love it Ali!! It's such fun!! I posted a mock-up of Vin Diesel as Mona Liesel on my Facebook page not long ago - hysterical!! Poor Mona lends herself to so many "transformations" doesn't she?! =)
ReplyDeleteLOL,love this,it's brilliant,love your work!!
ReplyDeleteAli! this is amazing! i love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteI think Mona is one of your best. I bet she and Henry had quite a time together.
ReplyDeleteYour work is so super. Thanks for showing us all the elements that went into this work of art.
ReplyDeleteAli,
ReplyDeleteAnother masterpiece! You are on fire!
And I have to say, I love your instructional how-to layout almost as much as the main subject.
Fantastic work, as always!
Take care,
Juli/Artist in Residence
