Title: Artwork
Post by: Dusty on 19 July 2008, 20:45:57
I thought I would show some of my paintings that I have recently done. It is just a hobby/sideline which I love doing.

I find art de-stresses the mind. It can be very theraputic

Time To Think

I like doing the tryptychs, they are in vogue at the moment. And certainly cost a lot less doing them yourself.

It all started when I was looking for some artwork to fill the house I was going to sell. I thought the ready done ones were very expensive, so decided to make my own.

I use vivid non realistic colours to give a surreal dream like quality to my paintings

Hope you like them, tell me what you think.

I like those a lot -- very good use of light (at least to my untrained eye). Must admit I also like the use of unatural, vivid colours.

The light is very remeniscent of a snow or seascape, both of which I love.

I remember, years ago, my local surgery had a large painting of an atomic mushroom cloud, done in similar fashion ----- very memorable work.

Yep -- all in all you have a gift there.

not a single vowel in that word!!

your art, should be persued further than a hobby looking at those pictures, my girlfriend has just graduated from uni with a BAhons 2:1 in illustration and is hoping to make a career of it, some of her work is on sale in our local art shop and she has the talent to make it go far, as have you :y

On a more mundane level --- a while back there was a guy selling large canvasses in a similar style on fleabay -- he was getting £100+ per piece.

Yes Albitz. I'm pleased so many people seem to like them. Art can bring a lot of pleasure to people by its theraputic nature. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Happy you like them Debs. I like to do surreal colours in my paintings. I'm a big fan of Salvador Dali, and his melting watches.  :)

Very true -- maybe the title was "Patient who refused hypertension medication"
Or ..."What happens if you cough, sneeze and pass wind at the same time!"

Thanks psychnurse for your kind comments. I put them on Ebay from time to time. Sometimes they sell better than others. If I don't reach the reserve, I simple keep them for myself, or give them as presents.
