Beyond the Canvas 3

Hey kid, welcome to Art Mart. You must be the new hire, right? I hear you paint really well. They explain to you what we do here?

Well, basically, we cater to the middle class shopper. They love classic art, but it's not big enough to go over their sofa. So we take the paintings and "expand" them - adding more to the sides or top and bottom to make it a bigger painting. Some of the boring guys just add more background along the edges, but the really creative ones show new people or events that were happening "off-camera" in the original print. Of course, the hard part is staying in the same style as the original painting, but that shouldn't be too hard for you. Get the picture?

In this contest, you are to take an existing painting and add to one or more sides to expand upon it. Don't alter the original painting; just add to the edges. It might be a good idea to provide a link to your original source image in your comments.

Here's what "Don't alter the original painting" means. It means that if your new creation strays into any part of the original work's area, we will use our own judgement to decide if your entry stays or if it is disqualified. You're rolling the dice if you try, and we will not debate or argue after we've DQ'd.

That said, have fun, be creative!, avoid cliches, and follow the guidelines please. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count!
