Thank ya', Kim. Smile Glad you like. Was fun to do, I must say.
Woah, I want one of those paintings too (and the elephant Laughing)! Clapping I've seen elephants just paint before, but never draw an actual picture. :shocked

Frankie, Laughing I'll stop, I'll stop. Laughing I'm very grateful and happy that I can draw, sometimes I'm just too much of a critic.

Well, since my scanner hasn't been hooked up yet, I thought I'd keep practicing on sketching on the computer, and here's my latest:

*click*


His anatomy's quite terrible, but I really like it none the less. Going to fix it sooner than later. Smile And it actually has a background! Oh! Which I really like. bigsmile And then going to finish the whole thing at one point. I think I'm getting a bit better with sketching on the computer. Smile

For when I do have my scanner hooked up, I've done an inked drawing that I really, really love, and will share that when I have my scanner all hooked up.
Here's a pic of it before it was inked if you'd like to see:

*click*


Cartoon me, and Oh mah Lawd, not cartoon Clay! :shocked lmao Um, but anyway, it's cartoon me, and my best, best bud. Smile He's having a bit of a rough time at the moment, and he sadly lives out of state, and our last conversation, I said, "I'd drive all the way and give you a Carla hug if I could." Smile He said, "I wish you could."
So I drew this for him as a surprise, and to make him laugh, for whenever he needed a Carla hug , and was going to send it out to him, but he's going to come back to MN for a few days in a couple weeks, so I'm waiting to give it to him in person. Smile
And I didn't ink in "Hug, Yay!", I just wrote that for . . . I don't know. Paranoid Laughing

Anyhoo, I think I'm babbling a bit, so off I run.

Hope you like. Huggles

Frankie, it is Mr. Simon (I think he's taller than Clay :shocked Laughing which has nothing to do with anything Laughing). I hope a visit will make him feel some better. Smile

Here is an updated version of the computer sketch for who want to see:

*click!*



Fixed/redid his arm (and neck a little bit), and started inking.

Thank you for the compliment, Pepe. Smile Huggles

A doodle here:



. . . Should I explain? lmao Um . . . there's this one line in Eddie Izzards stand up "I poked a badger with a spoon", and . . .there's the spoon apparently. Laughing Doodle I did in photoshop. Was fun.

Hope you like. Love and hugs Huggles

Jan, I love your sunflower hats paintings. My Aunt's sister-in-law always made us Easter hats with sunflowers on them so they remind me of days gone by. I'd love to  see your woodgravings. Get that scanner up and running!

Wow, shat incredible talent you all have.  Jan your work is fantastic. I love the sun hats.

I paint but I have no real true talent. I have only 4 paintings I like and they are copies of others peoples paintings. I like painting people and, abstract shapes. i work in watercolors.

My family are all very artistic, I was always the science/math one in the family. When I announced I was painting, everyone bought me painting supplies, books, tapes.  Laughing

My Neice, ( a true artist), cornered me at Mom's memorial service  and lectured about downing my work. She pointed to an abstract hanging on the wall in my bedroom and said that is really great work. I broke a smile and said " ahh  yes my GEORGIA O'KEEFE, IT IS RED AND YELLOW Laughing Laughing

I knew we had an "art" thread on this site!

On Thanksgiving Day, yesterday, we were with friends and new friends.  One of the couples, from Colorado, had been to an Art Museum in Oklahoma City on their way to Texas.

There were wonderful glass blown exhibits on display.  Here are a few:

This is a closeup of:



an enormous tree of blown glass tubes over two stories tall.



Here are beautiful colorful blown glass bowls:
