Some of my artwork

[cheaptrickfan]

I haven't been creating as much art as I really should lately. I've kind of been a lazy slug the past few months. I think I need a kick in the ass to get motivated.

It's an excellent piece of art. The amount of detail you put into it is amazing! I look forward to seeing more of your drawings.

Thanks.

I'm in a creative slump these days. I need motivation.

Very nice

 

[cheaptrickfan]

Danke.

Very impressive, especialy the attention paid to all of the subtle details.

Very good work!

 

[cheaptrickfan]

Thanks! I have been guilty of focusing too much on tiny details, so a piece can look over-worked. I have a hard time deciding when something is really finished.

Well it looks bloomin good to me and also isn't there an old saying about there being no such thing as a truly finished work of art?

Many moons ago, I used to encounter a similar problem with reguard to fanatical detail. My eventual solution was to shrink my medium. As a result, somewhere in this house, there is a series of landscape drawings made unique by the fact that each and every one of them was rendered on the back of a cigerette paper.

Yes, I think there is. It's true, too.

Oooh yeah! Do you have pictures of them?

I used to do a lot of postcard-sized watercolors, and then moved to smaller trading cards (2.5 x 3.5 inches). Cigarette paper art would be awesome!

If I can dig them out, I'll see what the scanner can make of them.

Although if I'm successful, prepare to be unimpressed - sadly there are firm limits to what can be accomplished with a biro, inadequate lighting and a mindful of class c substances. Limits that my pics will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt should I get the chance to display them.

Perhaps in turn you could avail ALL of your pocket sized water colours? After having seen what you are capable of, I would be very intrigued to see them and I duely suspect that other members would echo my sentiments.

I'll have to round those puppies up and scan them in. Some of the trading cards I did as an ATC (artists' trading cards) swap project, and I no longer have them. I do have a few floating around somewhere though.

I'd still be interested in seeing yours. Not all of my stuff is the same quality. I like to keep some of my "failures" around as proof of artistic growth. lol

Let me be the first to echo these sentiments.

Let me see what I can do.

Kickarse! Peeling paint and wood is tasty subject matter. I dont have a web page like you pro's but here is one of my latest - oil pastel on ****** old wood board

That is wonderful! I love the colors. It;s very expressive.

I love old wood, blistered paint and crumbling rock as subjects. Give me a falling-down barn and a field easel and I'm a happy girl.

Thanks. I havent painted or drawn for about 6/7 years.. just lost the urge and inspiration.. but in the last couple of months it seems to be on again

rusty gates, burnt out cars, derelict abandoned ships with the ribs of their hulls exposed like fish skeletons.. mmm all good stuff
