SIA Gallery of Style | “Young Betsy Ross” by Paul Stahr
It’s SIA Gallery of Style time, my favorite part of the Style Imitating Art series! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this round.
About Style Imitating Art
Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday, one of the hosts, acting as curator, selects an inspiration image that they will each post on their blogs. The following Monday, each host shares her art inspired outfit. Participants are invited to submit their art inspired outfits to the curator by 10:00 p.m. EST on the Tuesday following the hosts’ art inspired outfit posts. The following day, Wednesday, the curator will share all of the submissions on her blog.
You don’t have to be a blogger to join! You are invited to share your images on Instagram or other social media platforms. Just be sure to tag Salazar, Shelbee, and Marsha on Instagram or use #TeamLOTSStyle and #StyleImitatingArt so the hosts know you have joined. Go have some fun in your closets and join the SIA challenge next week!
The Inspiration Artwork
I chose this painting of Betsy Ross sewing the American flag because tomorrow is our nation’s 248th birthday and I thought it would be a fun way to celebrate.

The submissions are in no particular order. If you have submitted a photo and I did not include it, please let me know and I will make the necessary edits. Sometimes emails get lost in the shuffle.

And Me!
I hope you have enjoyed these patriotic-themed outfits that were inspired by Paul Stahr’s 1927 paining of “Young Betsy Ross”. If you would like to try one of these style challenges, be sure to stop back on Monday, July 8, 2024, for the next art inspiration. It will be Marsha’s turn to choose the artwork.
Keeping it on the edge,

Everyone did a great job using the color palette with their own style choices. I am especially impressed with how Salazar put the yellow cardigan with the print skirt – I would never have thought of that. This was a fun painting for the week of July 4!

It’s so neat to see them all togther in the collage; you all have very simliar colors and feels and you can tell you were all working fromt the same inspiration piece. And yet everyone definitely gave it their own unique spin.
