    Artwork from our members - post your pics
    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 :)

    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 ;)

    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

    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 !

    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!

    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:

    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. :)

    I'm sure the kids would get a kick out of their artwork being appreciated by other people :)
