Nikos Christidis: “A highlight in Eliasson’s exhibition at the Tate Modern was the room with the colourful lights, where people’s shadows blend together to create an ever changing artwork. My wife and I joined other visitors on this unusual canvas and gave everyone a wave.”

Steve Demeranville: “I was intrigued by the number and use of the umbrellas as I toured Asia . This arrangement of umbrella colours blending together made for quite an artistic display.”

Jenny Downing: “Doing his best to blend in.”

Hugh Colvin: “I blended two stories in the history of the upper Teme Valley[, Powys]. Legend associates Guinevere with Knucklas Castle and there was a plan to flood the Teme valley as a reservoir in the 1930s. I took my photo of the valley, made a mirror image to create the lake and blended that with the Lady of Shallot as imagined by Waterhouse. In Tennyson’s poem, she was only allowed to see reality in a mirror but fell in love with the passing image of Lancelot, Guinevere’s lover. She died of exposure drifting lonely down the river past the castle, where Lancelot and the court of Camelot had gathered.”

Jane Stevenson: “These two jaguar brothers are so well blended, it’s difficult to tell where one starts and the other begins. Taken in the Pantanal, Brazil.”

Nick Briggs: “Walking through the geothermal park in Rotorua, in New Zealand, I was surprised to see how the colours from the mud pools had blended in with the fauna and had enriched the colours even more.”

Malvika: “This is an image of a leaf, taken at Flower Forest (a botanical garden), in Barbados. I found this leaf unusual due to its contrasting colours and furthermore how they blended together at some points.”

Jill Bewley: “Office building reflections in London, blending with the monochrome colouring of this coot.”

Cathy Loughead: “Our dog Diesel is such a big softie and when we fostered this little rescue kitten, they bonded and blended together perfectly.”

Sarah Scaife: “I thought there was something wrong with my photo when I first saw it but no, it’s just my dog Flynn blending in nicely with the rug.”

Douglas Fry: “I’ve been photographing the weathered huts on Portland Bill[, Dorset,] for 25 years now, all unique in their faded paint work but have a charm that keeps me coming back. I loved the way the pale roof blended with a chilly May afternoon sky.”

Lynette Cuming: “On this very windy prairie day, the clouds where whipped and blended into these spectacular swirls.”

Martin Šimun: “Streets in Vienna provide a multitude of opportunities on how to blend a real life into an interesting graffiti backdrop.”

John Brookes: “A shy koala – saved from the bushfires in New South Wales – spectacularly fails to blend in with its new surroundings.”

Gosia Sousa: “This was the first painting created by my three-year-old daughter. I am still amazed how well she managed to blend colours together, they go so well with one another… or is it just me ‘cos I am her mum?”

Richard Derwent: “A portrait of my wife blends strikingly with a pattern created on the transparency by something that went wrong during processing.”

And finally Martin West: “Sky and sea blending together shortly after sunset on the west coast of Florida.” The next theme is “framed” and the deadline for entries is 21 January 2020.
