    Well it was very 'ish' in the end but we made it!

    Reveal will begin tonight at 7 but in order to whet your appetite (and I'm guessing to make most of you say 'WTF?') I'm posting up the original image below.

    First a reminder of our players:


    DESCRIBERS PAINTERS

    Sincere thanks to those who subbed in, moved slots and regularly participate. Also, a warm welcome to all of our new players! I'm hoping you all find the wait worth it in the end. :D

    So below is the image we started with. As always, try to limit your reactions to 'Wow, quite like what I described/painted' and/or 'OMG that is nothing like what I described/painted'.

    It's an Easter tradition in Corfu. Clay pots are thrown - some debate over the origins and the reasons but basically, people decorate their balconies and when the church bells ring, they all throw their pots out to smash in the streets!

    I cannot see ONE THING in that opening image that could possibly relate to anything in the description I received! This is going to be an epic journey! :D:D
    I think I'll grab a takeaway and a few cans for the reveal! :p

    Dinner took a bit longer to cook than planned so maybe a few minutes delay.

    First up we had Purple Mountain to describe our starting picture.

    Purple's description of


    Italian terraced houses. People on balconies photographing colourful flying vases.

    may not have been geographically precise but certainly very nearby.

    Necro very generously subbing in, took Purple Mountain's description of Italian terraced houses. People on balconies photographing colourful flying vases.
     and produced this glorious work of art:
