Artlady gave me the idea to start a thread about everyone's art.

I don't care if you post a masterpiece or stick figures, it's all art!

Any medium, from pencil to digital to photography.

Don't be shy now.. get creative and share it with the world :)

Here is something I painted. I'm not a good painter but here it goes:

Oh whoops... I thought I was still in artladys thread *smacks forehead*

An oldie named despair ,real uplifting huh ? :)18717

I l o v e it ♥

p.s. you just love nudity don't cha art ;)
Sarah

Wow, I love how you use light and shadow so well in all your pictures

I l o v e it ♥

p.s. you just love nudity don't cha art ;)
Sarah

Yep,just call me Miss Piggy. :rolleyes:I have a lot of nudes because clothing the models is so hard and takes a talent beyond mine to do well.

Wow, I love how you use light and shadow so well in all your pictures

I have always struggled with light and shadow so there are many pics of me trying to work out that issue.Thank-you for the compliment as like I said ,light and shadow are my nemesis.

Yeah but a picture like that wouldn't look right clothed... she looks more... 'vulnerable' I guess you would say, being naked

Agreed. I have no problem with naked pictures-- just pointing out that artsy loves doing 'em ;)

Sarah

Okies, well here's a bit of a taste of mine...

I'm working on a website at the moment, I have a fair few pics on there but I'm still working out the kinks :)

Portraits and Paintings by Sharyl Sward (http://www.geocities.com/sharylsward)

I would love to learn how to do proper 3D modelling but I think I'm doomed to just being able to make wonky spheres lol :D

You ARE AMAZING!This is art! Anyone can learn how to do graphic art but THIS takes real talent.
Just beautiful!! The detail is astounding and I'm just amazed.Jaw dropping gorgeous!

WOw!! The first and last ones were my favorite! You ARE amazing!!

Sarah

Awww shucks.. thanks so much guys :)
And no Artlady, not everyone can do graphic art! I can't get my head around it! Lol :D

I've never really considered myself that 'artsy' until the past year or so when I did a painting for my mum then a friend saw it and got me to do one for her and it just spiralled from there...

I came very close to failing art in high school. My teacher just didn't like what I did so that's what put me off originally.

I went to your site and I love your work.You have an awesome talent.
Clough ,I believe may be able to help you with promoting your site.I have seen some wonderfully talented artists get overlooked because they did not sell their site by advertising on line for free.
If you can get your page to pop up when people link to Google asking for custom dog painting,then your in business!
I wish you the best ,you deserve it !

Aw shucks- sometimes teachers aren't right!

You do have talent- you too art [don't sell yourself short!]

::bravo to the both of you::

Sarah

Thank you, I will ask him about it when the site is finished... I didn't even know you could do that!

I have one site in mind that is a pay one... $8 a month I think it was, and your site pops up on a website (dogzonline.com.au) but yeah, had no idea there were free ones!

You should do it too!

Awww shucks.. thanks so much guys :)

Teachers ,smeachers, they try to pigeonhole you and get everyone to follow the same path.
That to me is not what art is all about.
I have heard many famous actor's were told by their drama teachers. you will never make it is the biz. Just goes to show you.

Thanks Sarah :)

I think all of my teachers were actually from the moon or something.
Years ago in my Social Studies class my friend and I were just being silly and wrote a theory of how Osama Bin Laden was from outer space... We had a proper essay but handed that one in just to be funny... We got an A+ for creativity lol
The teaching system is weird.

Very true that!

The only thing I did in art class in year 12 that my teacher liked was I got an old violin, cut a dolls head in half and stuck it to the bottom of it... I then dripped wax over it to make it look like the doll was melting into it and painted it purple... It even creeped me out and I made it but he loved it. :rolleyes:

I'm your number one fan [the both of you] ;) I love, love, love, art.


Sarah

Alas, I never kept it... its still sitting at the school somewhere... I didn't want it! Lol

Here artlady, have an ego boost...
I told you not everyone can do art on a computer!! Lol :D

LOL!! Don't worry Shazy, the tastes of people vary so much... One may like abstract and completely hate landscape. Your artworks are simply gorgeous. I personally liked the tiger!! My little sis is saying she wants to become your fan, LOL! :p

By the way, that pic is quite good, the shape of the poodle is well defined. :)

Haha great work Shaz

I like it! The color is great ,it really pops and I love the tree:)

Here's a ghost for you Sarah.. Titled* I am always with you*.Its really an oldie.

Lol I didn't think anyone could possibly compliment that picture but thank you :D

I'm becoming a big fan of the stickman videos on YouTube... they are so simple but so funny, if you haven't seen them search for "Stick Death" :D

Here's a ghost for you Sarah..Titled* I am always with you*.Its really an oldie.

Wow.. that's not creepy at all! It's really sweet :)
How in the heck do you make them look smokey... very nice!

Naked man!

It's not creepy. I like it!

Sarah

Sarah

He does have very tight buttocks... pity he is dead :(

LOL! Nice pic Arty! :)

OOOH OOOH OOOH

Alty just came on and gave me another idea, she mentions her kids a bit so I thought it would be nice if people posted pics done by their little tykes!
I'm sure the kids would get a kick out of their artwork being appreciated by other people :)

It a graphic secret LOL,no it is just basic manipulation of the programs you use.
I did that with a graphic brush I made.

My artwork has occasionally been in my avatars. I am a stained glass artist (in my spare time lately !). Working as a Personal Support Worker means not much 'spare'. I do pretty big pieces though, usually commission only; fan lights, door lights (the windows on each side of doors) and windows in doors. Sometimes a client will only want a huge panel to hang in a lovely window.

Keep an eye on my avvy for my artwork. The one to the left is called 'man in the moon'.

I love this one! Wish it was bigger so I could see it better :)
I have always wanted to try my hand at stained glass.
Beautiful work Tickle!

Ooooh nice Tickle, I like the one you had a few weeks back (it looked like a door?).. didn't realise you made it though! Very nice :)

Here are a few of mine- some kind of spooky :eek:

The first one's a little spooky but I love the kitty!! He's purrrrfect :o

My God you guys are good. I don't know if I want to post my pics with yours, mine look like a five year old did them compared to all of the ones you guys posted.

Promise not to laugh, it's a passion, not an occupation. ;)

Amazing work!

The original is a painting, from an old friend of the family.
I "was aloud" to take a picture of it, w/o flash "he exclaimed" and I pulled it from my pic archive.

Art also can be 18lb. White bass...
Plus, only I could make a pool and never be used. Lol

Yes we did... :D

Krazi, the look on your face says that that is one stinky fish. ;)

Here's a random picture of me that my boyfriend took and I edited. I loved playing with photoshop and decided to put it up to remember how amateur we used to be. :p I cring when I see the mistakes but.. Whatev... 19118

Krazi, the look on your face says that that is one stinky fish. ;)

I was half lit... lol
Plus I was a happy/tired clam.

What mistakes Fuzzy? I don't see any.

Psht. You're tooo kind. :p

I was half lit.....lol

Half lit is the best time to fish. Ahhh, the memories. :)

Darnit, I haven't had fish in forever, hubby's not a fish guy, or a fisherman. I miss going fishing, used to go with my Dad all the time.

Never caught one that big but I caught a decent sized rainbow trout once, it was yummy! :)

My dad used to always take me fishing. I never ate them though. I put them back... It's too hard for me to eat something I made a bond with... XD I tried to feed one to a starving fox before, but he ran away before I could give it to him

Awww, beautiful family Krazi.

Thanks.

The shotgun is already beside the door, loaded and a hole is dug in the yard for the body. First boy that comes to the door is in for a big surprise! :)

Aww! How cute! And the girl has such pretty hair! I miss it when I had hair like that... I hope she savours it. :p

Thanks.

Whoa...
I said rock salt.

Aww! How cute! And the girl has such pretty hair! I miss it when I had hair like that... I hope she savours it. :p

I just cut it a few weeks ago, it was half way down her back. She just came up to me one night and said, Mommy, I want short hair. It's bugging me.

Here's a pic of her with her hair long.

Same here Alty, the Kyle graffiti one is cool too.
Very nice work Beautifulbrunette!

Nice pics on here during the past few hours... liked them all! :p

Alty, Jared is growing more handsome... and Sydney more beautiful! :) I think you'll need more than a single hole in your backyard... ;)

I had to go back and check what the heck you are talking about Unky.
I missed that whole page :o

A little late but very cute kids Alty!

Thanks guys.

Sydney is very pretty, or at least I think so but I'm biased.

Jared is in that awkward stage, not a kid anymore, not quite a teen, kind of growing into himself. I think he's a very handsome kid, but again, I'm biased.

I'll be digging another hole soon Unky. I'm looking into convents to send her to when she turns 14. ;)

No!! Do go to that extent :eek: Just shoot, interrogate the man. Then you decide whether he's worth. Then you let Sydney decide. That'll more likely make a nice couple then. (just keep the man in your line of sight ;))

Great big double padlocked chastity belt.

She is going to be very popular in a few years :eek:

Here's my latest one... it's my friends birthday next week and he loves huskies :)
I don't know whether to frame it or turn it into a card... hmmm...

Woah Shazzy! Cool picture! Seems to be out of charcoal pencil... or paint? I don't know neither what to choose... hmm perhaps a frame, but then, you'll have to sign it.

Thanks unky :) It's a charcoal one, well spotted ;)

Thanks, I think I'll go with the frame :)

I just came across this thread and I have to say WOW to your stuff shaza , very talented girl :cool:

Of course I've always said Artsy's art is awesome too ;)

Alas , I can't even get a stick man right :confused:

Aww don't be modest... you might not like it but art is art.
There is no good or bad, only what different people find appealing :)

And thanks for the compliments :D

Wow!

I don't usually take photos but I had to snap one of this...
This was taken from our back steps at about 6:30 at night... I thought the sky was going to kill me :eek:

Wow wow wow.. now now.. beautiful yellow, orange and red mixture in that sky of yours Shazzy... Is that smoke in the upper part? Seems to me...

I was kind of stormy when I took it and really really cold!!

Looks like it should be nice and warm :(

Well, that was my first impression.. that it was quite warm. But the way you tell me how it was cold then makes me shiver... brrr.. lol

Wow great pics everybody!
I'll see if I've got anything to post when I get home. I think I have something from 3rd grade :p

This is my inventive artwork. I call it

"Deal with it"

I live and have for 17 years in a zero lot line home. (which means no side yards to your home.) My neighbors house on one side is in my yard and my house on the other side is in my neighbors yard.

I made make shift windows and door separately and hung like pictures (but really short screws) on the neighbors house to make it look like it was my shed.

Most people who come to visit think it is my shed.

The screws are not long and the neighbor didn't mind, but the neighbor wouldn't see it either way, because where we live all yards have to be fenced in. So this neighbor can not ever see her side of this house. If she needs to paint they need to check with us.

Weird huh?:confused:

WOW!! Why am I just finding out about this thread? :mad:

Everyone is SO talented!

Shazzy Girl - I didn't know you had skills like that!

Well Artysy- umm. You'd have some splaining to do if you weren't artistically inclined. :p

But all of you are awesome! :)

That's awesome Just Dahlia, what a great idea!

Here artlady, have an ego boost...
I told you not everyone can do art on a computer!!!! lol :D

HEY! I like this... alot. The poodle especially. I could not do it. It came to my attention, a few years ago, that my "artistic ability" came in the form of decorating and design. That is why I stage homes to sell and do interior redesign on rooms. For years, I thought I was a completely talent-less person. Little did I realize, I had this hidden one.

I just cut it a few weeks ago, it was half way down her back. She just came up to me one night and said, Mommy, I want short hair. It's bugging me.

Here's a pic of her with her hair long.

BEAUTIFUL kids!

Hey there cozyk! :)

Hey Cozy K, thank you very much!
I'd love to see some pics of your interior designing if you have any?

I started the pic below yesterday afternoon and finished it off today... this is the first time I've taken pictures at different stages of painting... it's also my first bird painting so constructive criticism most welcome!

Shazzy, I'm in NO position to criticize you! It's really pretty and I can't believe you did that in only 1 day!

Shazzy,this is just beautiful.The color and detail are brilliant!
You really have an exceptional talent!
I am a bird lover and a tree lover and I adore how you have made the branches ,soft and very flowing.
No criticism at all,just many kudos! :)

Wow, Shazzy, you're really a great artist! :)

Thank you guys :)
You can give me criticism if you see something a bit out of whack! I really Don't mind!

But thank you again anyway :D
I'm going to do a ton of paintings and try to sell them at our local market.

My partner lost his job today so we have zero income a week now and $450 in house payments... fun...
Hopefully now that neither of us have a job we can get government benefits..

Using food stamps... joy... :rolleyes:
I never thought I could get this low.

Thanks guys.

How wonderfully creative! This looks like a perfect place to relax! Very cool :)

If I am not being creative in some way, I start to get irritable. I used to do visuals for a dept. store in Pa. called Strawbridge. They tied my hands behind my back because corporate would dictate exactly what and how they wanted something to look. I didn't get to flex my creative muscle near enough to my satisfaction. I eventually quit. Creation makes my world go round. Even God liked the creative process. Hummmmm, interesting...

For instance, I don't really like to cook, or go to parties, but I LOVE to set up for that party. Make a beautiful table scape, concentrate on a theme, or have a color palate to work with. I like this part much more than the actual party.

Thank you NM, very sweet of you :)
I'm going to sell (hopefully) ones like the birds for $40 at the market so that will help a bit.

Ahh I've got my happy pills so I'll be right :)
Just really really bad timing, I have officially had the worst day in history :(

Yeah it's been a great year really Unky...
I lost my job at the start of the year
My partner lost his job today
My bunny died today
Ooh and just before christmas all 3 of our cars got broken into...

You want to know the scary thing...
Every time I gve up smoking (yes I give up a lot)
All of these things happened at the 2 weeks mark!
I am officially never giving up smoking... I don't care any more..

Sorry for the rant :o

I am really sorry to hear about your troubles. It's tough all over, so don't feel too too bad. I think you really have a talent and can make some money with it. Especially sorry about your little bunny. Hey about the smoking thing. A couple of reasons to give that up. I just got back from my 33 year high school reunion. Class of 76. The difference between the smokers faces vs the non smokers was unbelievable. Smokers had aged so much more. They looked 20-25 yrs older than the rest of us. And the other thing, think of the money you will save. Cigs are so expensive. Occupy your hands with your drawings, they are fab!

Wow that was great Cozy! Smokers do age much faster. The art would be a great way to fill the time!

Plus Shazzy, we want you around for a few more years :(

Yeah it's been a great year really Unky...
I lost my job at the start of the year
my partner lost his job today
my bunny died today
ooh and just before christmas all 3 of our cars got broken into...

You want to know the scary thing...
every time I gve up smoking (yes I give up a lot)
All of these things happened at the 2 weeks mark!
I am officially never giving up smoking... I don't care any more..

sorry for the rant :o

Oh gosh! Who was it? Dora or Jack? Oh no, all but not that! You have surely been very down lately... Sorry for your loss Shazzy... :(

You mean that the door and windows in your pic are fake? That you 'made' them on your neighbour's house? LMAO!! That is a great illusion! :p
Yes, they are fake! I didn't want to look at a side of house in my back yard :)

Thanks for the compliments :)
And Shaz I'm so sorry for the problems that you are going through. :(
But if you give up smoking you will have more money for internet access and you will look younger! :D
Cigs are $4.00 a pack here (for generics) I know because I smoke.:mad:

I keep saying when I am no longer stressed out I will quit, but I think that will never happen. (the stressed out thing)

I have some more artwork some where, just have to transfer to my computer, so beware! :eek:

Thank you Dahlia :)
Post some more, I don't need to beware!
Yes, I've given up so many times I've lost count... they are $18 here for a pack of 40's :rolleyes:

We got a call back from our finance broker today and we are definitely having out homeloan suspended for 12 months.

Unky - It was Diego... we had only had him 3 weeks but he was already part of the family :(
Dora is safe and Jack is still living at my parents house (he's too old and stubborn to be moved out here!)
We have already had an offer for someone to give us a rabbit... bit too soon though I think...

Thank you Dahlia :)

What does that mean? Does it mean you don't have to make a pmt. For 12 months? If that is true, it would certainly give you a little breathing room. I hope that is what it means.

Yep, no payments for either 12 months or until one of us gets a job (whichever comes first)
It took so much pressure off!
The house payments are only $220 a week but once you start piling electricity,rates, internet, cars on top of it we were screwed.
At least we can eat now! :d

Thankyou Dahlia :)

$90.00 plus lots of tax for a carton of 10 packs... :eek: Chantix, here I come again... sigh...

$90?? :eek:

That's ridonculous!

$90?!?!?! :eek:

That's ridonculous!

What the h3ll are they going to do when the 'lie' is over... they are saying that they know what is best for us.. (fall in line now) and they are taxing it heavily so everyone quits this nasty habit... WELL... when that happens (if it does) and we all quit... the truth will come out... where the h3ll are they going to get all the taxes that they will NOT be getting from us smokers..! (Millions... )

I am not saying that smoking is good for you... of course not... but the government's hypocrisy is sickening... the government keeps thinking that they know exactly what is good for us... seems to me I read about this crap in history class... didn't work then either...

Just saying... stepping down off my soap box now... leaving... :)

EDIT: Sorry Shazy...didn't want to steal the thread....just getting angrier and angrier....

Stringer

No worries Stringer, steal away ;)

It is my coice to smoke I know it is bad for me. It is my money.
Why does the government care so much about my health? Here they are putting all this money into quit campaigns and they refuse to rebuild the near falling down hospital in the capital :rolleyes:

I hope they actually put the new tax to good use, not just do more dodgy quit campaigns... they don't wotk.
They have quit smoking campaigns here on TV about ever half an hour... when I see them, it makes me want to smoke! Grrrr...

rant over...

Welcome to my rage Shaz... :eek:

I'm not a smoker but my state is the top tobacco-producing state in the US so it brings a lot of revenue to NC. I see it this way: as long as you know the perils associated with smoking, I'm not going to preach. Sure I'd love for all of my friends to quit but I respect their choice; just like they respect my choice to not smoke. So they know they can't smoke in my house (but outside on the porch is ok) but I also know if I get in their car they're probably going to light up.

I agree Stringer about the hypocrisy of the government wanting to ban smoking and hiking the taxes so high in order to force you to quit BUT they don't have a problem spending the tax money they collect.

Ok sorry that I joined in on hijacking the thread... :o

Totally agree... and they make the decision to spend it behind closed dorrs... what's with THAT? (I know, I know.. .but I've just about had enough... and it never changes.. no matter who is in office... damn)

Me too, sorry Shaz...

They brought in what the called the "Alcopops Tax" here a while ago and it basically doubled the price of pre-mixed alcohol drinks to prevent teenagers from binge drinking...
You know what happened... all the teenagers started buying bottles of straight top shelf and drinking it because it was cheaper... FAIL
They then had to recall the tax because it was found out that the government never actually approved it!
There were millions of dollars they had collected that they never should have :rolleyes: bet you we will never see that money going to something good.
Now they are bringing the tax back in :rolleyes: They really never learn.

Have you ever seen a government tax... local, state or federal ever repealed? Maybe but one or two in what over 200 years.

Did you know that the federal income tax is a 'temporary tax' here in the U. S. Yep it was initiated in the early 30's I believe and it was intended for only 2 or 3 years to help with the depression. But... guess what it is still here and being raised constantly.. poor management, poor judgment and poor planning... So, how do they keep it alive? They have to vote to renew it every 2 or 3 years. And now, we are printing paper money like there is no tomorrow... great, now our kids and grandchildren will be paying for this forever. And trust me, they will also find new and 'better' taxes for them to pay in addition to all this...

Yeah, I know... more rage, is anyone in government even listening?

[QUOTE]You know what happened... all the teenagers started buying bottles of straight top shelf and drinking it because it was cheaper... FAIL

I'm not sure what that means? Straight top shelf??


They then had to recall the tax because it was found out that the government never actually approved it!


If the gov never approved it, how did it happen? Who passed it down to the merchants? Did they investigate who set this wheel in motion?

WHOOPS I completely missed this :o
Yes top shelf is straight alcohol and as for the government not passing it... I really don't understand how it happened, Our government is divided into all different parties and I think one particular party just enforced the tax before it was passed by federal parliament.

Here's my latest artsy creation. A set of two standard poodle wine glasses for my mums friend.
I think I took about 20 photos and this one had the least glare... sorry!

They are almost the same here in Ontario Canada. I don't smoke. Most people here buy from the reserve where the cigs are half the price of the government, but no one really knows what they are made of !

tick

Well, we have almost the same thing Tick... when I lived in North Carolina I had a friend whose dad owned a bacca farm. At one point in the process they have to dry out the bacca so they leave it in piles on the ground. Everything that you can think of does their 'business' on these piles; birds, dogs, etc. And then it is bundled up and hung for additional drying... yep we are smokin' that stuff, along with some gunpowder to keep the bacca burning, ever see a cigarette 'spark?' :rolleyes:

Guess I'll get us back on track... :rolleyes:

I painted this Mickey montage for my son's bathroom; it goes around the entire bathroom. I taped off the edges for the blue and red lines and then painted all the little boots, gloves, and ears. Then went back and added the detailing. From start to finish, it took me about a month because I was doing it at night after he was sleep (plus allowing the coats of paint to dry). It's not perfect, but it was done out of love for my little boy. And I even wrote a special message to him behind the door. :)

Every night when I get him out of the bathtub he points the ears and says "Mee Mau". :o

AGH I love it NM!
You will definitely like one of the things I put in your letter :D ;)

Wait... your sons bathroom?
Hw big is your house girl :eek:

Thanks Shazzy! I'm nowhere nearly as talented as some of you here! I'm really looking forward to mail from overseas!! :D
My house, small really- 3BR, 2Ba. I have a big ole yard though!

Sounds pretty big to me.
I have a 3Bed 1Bath and a small(ish) yard.

Our toilet is ridiculously small, the door almost hits the actually toilet when you open it :rolleyes:
The giant shower makes up for it in the bathroom though :D

Believe me I pay for that "big ole yard"-- mowing the lawn isn't fun when it's hot as Hades outside! :(

Aww sucks :(
Get that fake grass, astroturf stuff :D No more mowing! Haha

Hey nice painting NM! :)

Thanks Unky! How have you been? We haven't crossed in a while. :)

Yup, true... yesterday I had no connection, but today all is well, thank God. Well, I wouldn't like to chat in here... hijacking the thread of Shazzy. The others are in the castle.

Don't worry about hi-jacking, I do it on a regular basis :D

Here's my latest one... it's my friends birthday next week and he loves huskies :)
I don't know whether to frame it or turn it into a card... hmmm...

What if you frame it and then copy it but make it smaller and use that in a card? Give him the card first.

Hey Zoe! I think... hum.. that's from the 4th of May, two months ago... :)

Yup :D
I turned it into a card and then did another painting for him :)
I liked that idea though, would have been good!

Hey Zoe! I think...hum.. that's from the 4th of May, two months ago... :)

LOL! I realized that later and was thinking "someone will correct me eventually" I always seem to miss the good threads until they're pages long.

Love this thread, just realized that I have never really hung out in the lounge :rolleyes:

Love your guys'es artistic side! Personally I draw, but my drawings are too big to put into my scaner (A3 size) but I have some pics though.) This is the first one I made in the A3 format. The pens I use are Shinhan- twin touch- markers. (love the markers really smooth.) I Included some of the details.

The Drawing is for a friend of mine and She loves Alice in Wonderland, lol so I included my fave details.

:eek:
That's amazing roxy!
I love the whole thing, her eyes, the butterflies, even the trees right down the bottom, beautiful work!
You colored that in with a marker? I'm going to have to get me some of those :D

Thank you so much Shaz :D It took way way long time though. Took about 30 min to draw up the outlines, and then about 8-9 hours to fill in the color.

Yup! Great markers. There are several other great markers as well that are produced in Korea: On-the-run ink, shinhan's twin- touch, Tria (although the latter is not my favorit) have to use special paper though. Has to be bleed proof. Or else you loose a lot of the marker ink. :D

I also started on a series of pics about anti-heroes. Lol the hole idea started because a friend of mine and I both share the love of super-hero-movies. And he loves superman (which I see as kind of whiny. At least in the later movies. Ps: sorry if anyone is offended by that) ;)

Anyway, I made a drawing of superman gone bad ;) although I think his head is kind of tiny...

Haha, his head looks fine!!

I love it, He looks great but what really caught my eye at first was the buildings in the background, so detailed!

You do realise you have to post more right :D

Here's a picture of Zoe when she was a puppy. I just like to play with photos. Other than that I'm not very creative.

8-9 hours :eek:
I would definitely lose all concentration after about an hour :D

I will have a look for those markers, and the paper, thanks!

Zoe is so cute :D You can never post too many pictures of her!

Thanks Shaz. =) I don't have any kids so she's my baby.

Thanks Shaz. =) I don't have any kids so she's my baby.

I'm the same, I get a bit dog obsessive :o
I could talk about them for hours... days even :D
I haven't done any paintings of my dogs though... probably should do that!

Zoe, cute cute cute. Dogs are so great! What breed is it?



8-9 hours :eek:
I would definately lose all concentration after about an hour :D

I will have a look for those markers, and the paper, thanks!

Yup. It does get tiering lol after a couple of hours :p but its an entire A3 page filled to the edge. After this I've started to make some on the same size paper, but I but a nice square in the middle as a focus point. Which takes less time! LOL thankfully.

And yes! Check out the markers! Great great great! Hehe and I can post some more. Gosh there is one that I gave to someone at work. I didn't snap a photo of it though :( but It was prob my best ever! And when I go home (I'm vacationing at my parents house) I can see if I can snap some more photos and put them out.

This one I just called Duality. Or I should have called it Double Trouble. Another villans pic.

Nice artwork roxy!

She's a great dane.

I think I want to blow this up and frame it.

Oooh. Great dane :)

Firmbeliever: thanks ;)

Nice artwork roxy! :)

Zoe is cute! And you did a very smart 'close up' with those flowers ZoeMaire! :)

Unknown: merci beaucoup :)

Zoemarie: yeah I liked the flower pic. I must admit I known nothing about photography, but I like the colors, the angle and the light :)

Roxy.. pics were great, keep posting! I always loved markers, wish I had time.. :(

Zoe.. You are beautiful! (I didn't realize that you were a Great Dane!):o

ZoeMarie.. The Tulips were perfect, you should blow it up and have it framed. They have another thing (don't know what it's called) but they take the picture and make it into a painting or such. It looks really cool and looks just like the photograph you took.

Unky; cool :)

Just Dahlia: Thanks :) Markers are GREAT hehe :D sad that you don't have enough time though. It def takes a lot of time.

Another very cool pic Roxy!

Marie, I envy anyone that can take a photo that clear!! No matter what I do I end up with fuzzy edges or bad lighting :(

I want Zoe's dog! Aww! Roxy those are great!

Shazamataz directed me to this thread :p
So here's the artwork I did today for my 18th birthday invites.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z179/cal823/SpectralStripesfornet.jpg
Was pretty easy to do, just looked at a photoshop tutorial and then adjusted the technique for what I wanted to do.

Lol, as I said, it looks awesome ;) :D

Just put a link to your thread here and we will add to it, this one is getting old and dusty anyway ;)

Oky dokies.

Sean, you are doing beautiful artwork as always.:)

Look what I found browsing for acrylic work
gagnonstudio (http://www.timgagnon.com/portfolio.html)

I like his YouTube timelapse videos too.
YouTube - Time Lapse Speed Painting Acrylic landscape by Tim Gagnon "Little Red Barn" www.timgagnon.com (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr-M1WxgMKE&feature=channel_page)

Oh my Gosh, that "Crimson Leaves" one is beautiful!

And the video... wow. I love those time lapse videos, makes your mind boggle at how they do the paintings!

Those are gorgeous! I just started a new acrylic. But I think I am going to craft on it as well. Woo hoo découpage glue thou art my friend!

Those are gorgeous! I just started a new acrylic. But I think I am going to craft on it as well. Woo hoo decoupage glue thou art my friend!

Hurry and finish it so you can post a picture :p

Hehe shaz! I wish you had Yahoo I could use some suggestions about the picture I am thinking of putting on it. But the background is lime, black, with a small silver pinstripe all angled, it's sweet! Hooray for floating medium mixed with acrylic!

I am hopeless at being creative...
This is the most abstract thing I have ever painted (below) Our walls our grey and out kitchen appliances are red so I had to do something to match :D
I usually just stick to portraits.

My art teacher hated me because I wouldn't do anything 'artistic'
Sounds like it going to be very colorful when you finish it, are you doing it for anything special or just because you wanted to do a painting?

Wow that looks awesome Shaz.

Yeah the dimensions are awesome! I am only doing it because I am bored and I refuse to buy art. Ever. Lol

Speaking of buying stuff, I went to Rivers with my mum today and she bought me a really cool retro looking leather jacket :p (One of those brown leathers ones with the white/red stripes going down the arms)
Its going to look so good with my Nirvana t shirt, my suade moccassinish shoes and my jeans :p

Oh my god. Paint your fingernails and I shall find you and murder you.

I like painting my fingernails :p.
Tho I lost my fingerpaint so ill just use a black permanent marker like I usually do :p

I bought my partner one of those leather jackets, they are awesome :D

Thanks for the compliments guys :D
I'm with you Chey, I refuse to buy artwork, rather do it myself!

Art teachers are silly. Art is art. You can find 'very ugly' pictures on the market, said to be from famous artists, yet, people buy them. :rolleyes:

Exactly Unky.
I remember I had to do an essay about Jackson Pollock, I absolutely hate his artwork, people pay thousands for it though.

I agree shaz! I actually feel this way a BIT about Warhol, even though often much of my canvas art is Pop Art. Hahahaha oh the irony of it all!

I like painting my fingernails :p.
Tho I lost my fingerpaint so ill just use a black permanent marker like I usually do :p

Please don't put black permanent marker on your fingernails, cal. Your nails soak up all the bad stuff in that ink.

Tick

Go muddy that's awesome! artlady, you are the awesomeness. When am I going to coerce you into making me an avatar!!

Darn you, now I have to do my nails tonight :D

I'm thinking pale pink with white tips.

Or cheat and use my acrylics... hmmmmmm

I wasn't really on much the last couple days but thanks so much for all the complements! I love taking pictures of flowers. I have a frame that holds 8 different pictures in the dining room and I have all different flowers in it, a picture of some rocks. It's just something I like to do.

I want to get my hair died with blue streaks or tips or something

Go muddy that's awesome! artlady, you are the awesomeness. When am I going to coerce you into making me an avatar!?!?

Go to renderosity.com you have to become a member but its painless and then go to my gallery I am highcrow and take whatever you want.
I am not sure how they would work as avis but you are welcome to have what you want :)

And where is the picture of that one hmmmmmm ;)

I don't have a picture of that one yet, but I'm on vacation this week so I'll have plenty of time to post things on here. =) I'll get it up here eventually.

Nice Marie :D I will hold you to that!

Artsy - You are so generous, you should be selling them though, $100 per avatar :D

Here's a product of severe boredom that ended up on our loungeroom wall lol

I started with the one on the white background, cut out all the pieces so I had a big template, then glued it to a black piece of card...

Then I just took all the little white bits I had cut out and stuck them on a black card, was like a big jigsaw puzzle lol

2 pictures out of the one piece of paper :D

Ha, that explains the 'perfectness' of the other picture! I was wondering... and after reading I realised it was like I thought it was. :) Of course, one cannot be perfect if the other wasn't! ;)

Hehe, yup.
Only problem is, everyone that sees it thinks it is just a printout from the computer!!

Next one I make I will make it more 3-d so it doesn't look like it has been printed!

Another villan ;)

Wow you made those yourself Shaz? Their amazin! (the fish that is) Gosh!

wow you made those yourself Shaz? Their amazin!! (the fish that is) Gosh!

Thanks Momsy! That is a funny comment LOL
This is flowerpower

WOW Artsy that's REALLY pretty! You are so talented!

I agree with NM... the upper one seems like.. Dr. Octopus :eek:

EDIT: I missed Shazzy's pic... Hey you did put it in an awesome way Shazzy! :)

Here is one last one,I don't want to seem like a show off and thanks guys for the nice comments.I took a long time doing this and one that I was happy with.A rarity indeed.This is *Grace*

Wow! That one seems quite simple... but I know it isn't at all. Awesome Artsy, simply, awesome! :)

Artsy, that is simply beautiful.

Unky, I don't get a welcome back from you?

This is one of my glassworks. As you can see it is all stained glass and done in copper foil method with raised bead, already sold a long time ago. I do commission work but keep an on line diary in case I have to send my work to a prospective client.
The particular client I did this panel for was a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright. So this was my interpretation of his style, designed by me with a bit of an optical illusion. The glass doesn't really curve.

I am so happy to see so many artistic members here displaying their absolutely wonderful work. We should all get together for a showing !
