“Winter on the Marsh” by Dee Nickerson | Style Imitating Art
This is our last Style Imitating Art challenge for 2025! We will be taking a short holiday break and returning in the new year with new art presented on January 5. Won’t you join us for the last dress up round of this year?
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 presenter, 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 presenter by 10:00 p.m. EST on the Tuesday following the hosts’ art inspired outfit posts. The following day, Wednesday, the presenter will share all of the submissions on her blog.
You don’t have to be a blogger to join either! In fact, you don’t even have to join but you can still use the art to inspire an outfit just for the sake of trying something different. If you want to share your inspired outfit, we invite you do so on Instagram or any other social media platform that you prefer. Just be sure to tag Salazar, Shelbee, or Marsha 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!
This Week’s Presenter
Salazar chose this week’s artwork because she likes the naive art/primitivism style of the simple winter scene for our last post of the year.
The Artwork
“Winter on the Marsh” by Dee Nickerson
Since the snow has arrived here, I took advantage of the background and already took photos of my outfit for this challenge. I’m excited to share it with you next week. If you would like to join us with your own outfit inspired by this primitive winter scene and have it featured in Salazar’s review post on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, please be sure to send your photos to 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com by 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
Happy styling!
Keeping it on the edge,

I just love this painting! How smart of you to take photos in the snow…though you’ll probably have it from now until mud season, right? Ours is all gone. I am really excited about figuring out my outfit for this one. It’s just beautiful and peaceful and perfect for this time of year.

Oh yes, the snow is here to stay now straight through until mud season. With the bitter cold, it will never melt. Instead it will just keep accumulating. We already have quite a bit on the ground with so many more months of winter ahead of us still!
