The Artist in you!

I'm with you nautical ......no talent in me so far

Meterre,
I loved the border of your painting.

Cal,
Show some more of your art will you

Hey Joe,
Would love to see Proud's art.
Put something on the painting (using Photoshop etc)like a signature across the painting before uploading on the net.(maybe someone who knows graphics and such can suggest a way to protect the art?)

Clough,
Wheres your art...I have heard you are an artist

About protection of the art work...............all you have to do is make c with a circle around it and your initials.......if someone copies it, they would be committing copyright infringement....local copy shops know not to break the copyright law

Does that C represent any legal documents proving it is copyrighted work?
For example, if I copied someone's work and put C on it, how do they prove that it is not my work?

Thanks

Here's just a sketch in pen...

I do not mind these being copied..

That's the best I can do

Simple yet nice. Sometimes art doesn't need to be this really super complex thing, to be beautiful or fine. Sometimes simple means fine, as long as it's neat or has quality or a message...oh you know what I mean.
That sketch can definitely become a good work of art, perhaps if you add a touch of color...not too much, to keep it neat and simple. Or perhaps add something happening around it or just something.
And I'd buy it.

I love this! Your space, colors and lines are dead-on! Wonderful work! Anymore?

I like this, Met; your colors work well. I would enjoy seeing some more of your stuff. I wish I could keep things simple but I'm not happy unless I spend another sleepless night trying to figure out a way out of the usual corner I painting myself into that day. Some times I just go at things with head down and at break neck speed. Art is thinking. I need to practice that part more.

[quote=Clough]I don't have a metal working shop, only a wood shop (or used to have that is), so everything I built was usually made from 99 % wood. The cannon barrel is wood and only weighed 85 lbs, each wheel weighed 95 lbs. A friend of mine had a cool lathe he built himself and I went over there and we worked together on his lathe till I got the shape I wanted. I was hand-honing it before that, but after 2 weeks and seeing how little progress I was making, I gave my buddy a call. The metal strips around the wheels, I got from an iron smithy who made them to my specs. The rest I did myself.

The coach was real fun to make. I will put up some more pictures of her where you can see the work in progress, also some pics of the other things I built in progress. The hurricane tore the coach up some, but I mended her and she came back together ok.
