Seeing that kind of stuff makes me jealous actually. I can't draw anything if I had to to save my life. I don't even do a good stick figure. I have lots of good ideas in my head of things I would like to do but my brain can't get my hands to actually put them down on paper. You could make money off that stuff if you wanted to seel it, that is some seriously good work.

LOL!! I dont believe it SilverMoon Wolf . I believe everyone has the ability to learn. some people it just comes a little more naturally.. I have always drawn since very young and was encouraged by my grandparents.
I have sold some paintings, But I mainly give them away to friends and family on special occasions.. and I like to see them on my own walls, I cant afford the real thing so I like to reproduce the old masters sometimes, I do change them slightly so i do not breach copyright laws.. In the Boatmans Luncheon I have taken three people out and added a table .. I also like coming up with my own stuff.. If i really let loose it becomes more surreal, Which I love.. ( like the charcoal drawing)..
I once did a beautiful drawing of an cracked egg being lifted from the sea by a giant hand,( I was 16) It was my interpretation of the dawn of man.. I have recently discovered someone else had the same idea and it now dawns the entrance of the Sydney Art Museum.. A bit freaky that!

If i had my time again I would come back as a man and live, breathe, and eat Art, for my entire lifetime.. It is a passion!

Thanks everyone for your great comments, It is nice to know someone else likes Art also.

Outstanding! Is there no end to your talents?

[Ejoty]

I agree with Silver MoonWolf, and say that it is good enough to sell.
And I find it funny that you rightfully tell Him that He could learn to draw and yet you think that you are past the "Age limit" to try to focus more on your art!

[Dancing Bear]

LOL Ejoty it seems like that doesnt it! I probably do think that in a way..

I really do not get much time anymore to dedicate to my Art work.. I have just set up a craft area in the garage, so i may be able to lock myself in there everynow and then to create.. I really would love to finish the Painting i am doing now. It is Ariadne Originally done by J.Waterhouse I am really enjoying it, I have changed the leopards into a Mountain Lion and a Black Panther Two totem Animals of mine..

I think once the kids grow up a bit more and less demanding I will have more time on my hands.. I really would like to concentrate on drawing Spirit guides , or psychic visions. as well... It would be a challenge but also intriguing to see what happens..It would be more surreal, as things morph into other things. Brilliant Visions Lets hope I can get it onto paper

You sure are tossing around a lot of "I think...and hope I...."
And as a "Famous Guru" once said to His Disciple "Do, or do not, there is no try."
You have faith in me and my Rune Readings, well I'm tossing it back with faith that you will succeed with your Art.

[Dancing Bear]

Thanks Ejoty

I do have faith in you with your Runes,

[Ejoty]

Well then, stop changing the subject off of you and go and shackle the kids to Hubby then lock yourself in the garage and paint away!!
I'm sure your family could survive and hunt for themselves for a few hours every day or so!

[Silver MoonWolf]

Use some of your paint and paint the door shut so you can't easily get out ;D

As for me, I am a lost cause when it comes to artisitic ability, I will just stick to my words

[Dancing Bear]

This is the painting i am working on at the moment!

It is my version of Ariadne by J.W. Waterhouse.

[Silver MoonWolf]

Wow.....you could be a professional artist, seriously. Especially after some of the crap I have seen that gets passed off as art, especially that abstract stuff....BLECH!

[Dancing Bear]

Thanks Silver MoonWolf.
