* the strange reflection in the astronaut's helmet is mocking the unconvincing photographs taken during the 1969 american "lunar landing"...obviously the comets are behind him !
dun dun dun

the bat with colourful drippy background was a black and white still life project from 2nd year painting, we had to make our own black out of complementary colours and i used as much colour as possible HA

magenta-yellow sky with floating bloated dude is just some random shiitake i did this summer

the foetus thing is entitled "mother's nature", a photo extension project

shitty photos! the colours are different in person

This is beautiful. Like, envelops my heart. The blotchiness of the color and the adrogyny and calm of the person is just...great.

I reeeeally like this one.

this one was a lot of fun to do.

>:]

i like it, too. pretend he's holding a bottle of rum in his opened hand. that's my ex-bff, a portrait i did of him when he was still my bff.

yes, the canvas is curved


i suck at photographing my work - the colours are much more vibrant in person - but you get the general idea.

i really love the colouring on the face - especially that sweet little swipe of bright yellow by the nose. so nice!



adorable! such a darling little piece. i want a dress just like it!

love this. i like the dripping angel.

i wish you could see all the texture in it, too! the painting is really shiny and drippy and thick.

Wow, how have I not been to this thread before? The PPK has crazy amounts of talent!

Got bored tonight, threw this together:



I'm pretty sure it's not quite done yet, but it's a good start.

It has been a long, long while since i've painted anything.

(top two: tempera third: acrylic)

Title: Autumn Girl. And it is number 1 of a series I am working on.

I can't paint very well. I should learn.

LOVE THESE.... especially the Klimt inspired one! =]

I will have to take a photo of my recent painting (of my precious dog friend who passed away 2 years ago).... but in the meantime, here is one from late 2006 or early 2007. I haven't painted much since then.. I have been doing mostly illustration and relief prints. However, I am taking a painting class this next term, so hopefully I will get inspired again to pick up the brush!

Try taking photos outside, no flash with direct sunlight. Seriously, I find that the best lighting for artwork.

I like it! Did you finish it?

EVERYONES!!! And I mean EVERYONES!!! work looks just amazing. WOW!

awesome, thank you, i will try this.

i don't make paintings, but i am a scenic painter (painting/finishing scenery for theatre and operas, sometimes more boring stuff for corporate environments or trade shows too). can i post that stuff here?

i woodgrained for an entire week pretty much for a set for the music man. here is one segment of the floor:


and a close up in nicer light:


i love this drop on which i painted sheet music. it's almost 40 feet tall:


close up of the music:

I haven't done anything for a while, but here's a little stencil I did a few years ago for my aunty...



another little one I did (each panel is only 3x5 inches)



and a piece for my art class in highschool (back in 2005...)

electric_claire, i really like your work. it looks and sounds awesome.

gazebo, i love your stencils.

i painted this over the weekend for a friend. it's his xmas gift. now that i look at photos of it, it looks like his clavicle is his mandible. it's not! he has no lower jaw. :(

o..m.g. I love this thread. Such talent from everyone!
thisheregiraffe, amazing hot air balloon (and others, too, but that one just sticks out- the colors are fantastic!)
boober- love the one of the runner. and the smiley person.
electric_claire, that is amazing work you do. seriously.
mars- love it- reminds me of your avatar!
autumnleaves- is that mixed media?
