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

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 :(

Unknown008 · May 15, 2009, 02:49 AM

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

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! :)

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

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.

Wow, what a shame! Bad teacher, bad teacher! Believe me, you ARE artsy. Not like the pseudo art that I do. :)

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.

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

Hey there cozyk! :)

shazamataz · May 21, 2009, 07:57 AM

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!

nikosmom · May 21, 2009, 08:02 AM

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!

artlady · May 21, 2009, 08:08 AM

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! :)

Unknown008 · May 21, 2009, 08:09 AM

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

shazamataz · May 21, 2009, 08:11 AM

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.
