Hahaha! Craig, I can't think of a thing that you have written that deserves a beating! :) Hope you don't have too many scars! ;)

And, I'm sure that you can, and you will, because you have a special gift of being able to see what is happening and sort things out and answer according to your experience and what you believe. The more support that a person receives, and also "tough love" as might fit a particular case, maybe not the one in question, in this particular case, the more that the person has to think about and potentially act positively and in a proactive fashion in his or her life. Beyond that, the choice is theirs...

Dear firmbeliever,

I have to go away for a little while. Mainly, because it's garbage pick-up day tomorrow, and I have to figure out how to fit my entire house into the garbage can! LoL!

Earlier today, I had said that I would be on some time later. I will be back in a short while to work on something with you that we had spoken about in another post. Okay? That is, if you are still available.

Craig

Hey everyone... :)

Hey BIWi-

Welcome to this thread. I hope you come to enjoy it as much as we all have. I admire just about everyone on this thread whom I talk with. Everyone is very talented and I'm SURE will be thrilled you decided to visit :)

Thanks for the warm welcome ^.^... I don't have a lot of artwork but... I do write poetry... I could take some pictures of the paintings I do have... And if anyone would like to hear my poetry I'd love to share it. I don't got to worry about copy right I don't think cause all my poems I'm putting in a book and publishing soon.

Fire away, we all love poetry, but not all can write poetry ( I'm actually just talking about myself, LOL ) Would love to see the paintings too.

Publishing a book?? That's fantastic, I hope it goes great for you :)

Ya I've been working on two novels and I'm putting together a poetry book (I want to be an author). Well I just took some quick shots of my art but I don't know how to attach them.

That's fantastic. Great ambitions, its truly inspiring!!

When you click " answer this question, you will see a little paperclip, just click on that, uplload and attach, and your set!!

Okay here's a few pictures of my art most of these were done at school but I just ordered some really good paints and pastels through my teacher and he's getting me something I could use as canvas. I already have the paints so I'm pretty excited. Anyway here's the only real good painting I've done that I have with me. It's of a magnolia... I painted it last year (I've gotten better since then >.<) I also do charcoal, scratch art, and pastels. (can you attach more then one picture?)

Attachment 5039

THe painting is great! I'd love to see more. Make sure you post after you receive your other supplies and get one finished :D

And sorry, lol - I don't know if you post more than one or not, I'm not that familiar with it yet!!

Lol thank you this is the one painting I'm most proud of. I have one other painting and it's of fields and a horse. I'm working on one in class right now. We got some boards and painted them with this white stuff (the name escapes me right now) and now we are painting renassance paintings on them. Our teacher wanted us to do the Mona Lisa but I didn't want to disgrace such a good painting >.<, I'm not good with real dark pictures. So I'm doing a replica of Small Cowper Madonna by Michelangelo. It's got brighter colors for me to work with and both the mother and child don't have ears... I can't draw ears let alone paint them >.<

Lol - I have a hard time with ears myself, as with most of everything else! I bet the fields and horse is great too. How much longer until you finish with school?

Sorry I couldn't stay and chat longer, I'm exhausted and need to get to bed. Thanks again for joining us, I hope you enjoy it!!

Erica

If the size is not too large you can attach more than one.The total size must fit the limits.

Hi BiWi!

Would love to see some more and maybe some poems too.

Painting number one looks like the girl off of the cover of the National Geographic book that I have at my house. Very neat.

And yes that Girl painting is from Nat Geo magazine cover, it is beautiful! That's Chek's work... she is very creative.
