Hello art fans!

[ponyfool]

JB, that is amazing work!!!!

JB - I want to hire you; for an oil painting.. Nothing else you pervs.. PM me.

I think if you look closely at the Colt drawing, it is actually to scale. Thus, when he paints your, um..... it'll still be to scale!

oops, double post...

That's some beautiful work JB. You must have been closer to the front of the line when God was handing out talent. Damn sure you were well ahead of me! I only wish I had a full size image of that landscape to look at and take in the details.

Um, nearly EVERYTHING has improved since you were a kid. :blink:
Like the ability to take cheap shots at people across the country that you've never met. Never could do that before. Sorry <_<

Yeah, but I've met JB. Now, you on the other hand, I have not.

Besides, you failed to copy-quote the smiley I included in my post. Makes all the difference in the world.

:****:

See?

I meant my cheap shot at you, what with your being all old and everything. Even though I'm about 7 months older. . . . . :glare:

I should have said:

Oh, okay, that's different then. Still, :****:

:lol:

. . . in awe of anyone that can paint/draw/dance/ or sing. . .

Heck, I can paint, draw, dance, and sing. Just not worth a ****.

Pretty nice landscape.

Uh...good luck with the trumphy thing.... that **** is harder to do than it looks!

Way aback in another lifetime, I used to sit in my Art History classes at Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio... and try and figure out how those dang trump l'oeil thing were painted. very slick.... but was better than listening to the lecturer! <G>

Ever try doing tempera?... with real eggs and powered pigment? That is a kicker!

Great stuff JB. I can't draw anything but money from the bank. I envy you.

Here's one my Mrs. did. Not painted though....sewn.

Thank you. No, never tried tempera.

Very nice!

I've been wondering lately if there's money to be made some way some how painting motorcycles.... That is, paintings OF motorcycles.

 

[SacramentoMike]

Painting ON motorcycles, now, hmmm. Can you do flames?

 

[vabrzn]

Talent and some patience = nice work!

 

[artistonFJR]

From a professional artist... nice work! I have seen lesser artists make actual cash money from MUCH less. You may want to start charging for your talent instead of just taking compliments (unless you get 50% of the compliment up front and the rest on delivery, but make sure the compliment is written on a c-note)...

Art has as many forms as it does admirers, and there is a buyer for every painting. Be patient and confident, and art can actually be profitable.

After completing the sewn piece above we tried to work out what it would be worth if sold! Can't remember exact figures now, but based on the hours taken to stitch it (6 months or thereabouts) and the skill involved, I think it worked out at being worth at least £600 mg: Now I know that most folks don't have that sort of money so I mainly do them as gifts for people or do smaller ones in the form of greetings cards. Would be nice to be able to make money from something I love to do though!

Wow! I'm impressed with your work Sue. I've tried a little of that, and haven't the patience to stay with it. Quilts are more my thing, but I've let that go recently. I think, like most art, you do it because you love to do it rather than to make $$. There is no way you could recoup the time and effort that goes into something like that.

My Mom makes quilts to order, then donates the proceeds to her Church. It's a win-win situation because she gets to do something she enjoys, while helping the funds at the same time. The buyers get a beautiful hand-made quilt for a reasonable price. The Church gets the benefit of Mom's talent and hard work. Everyone is happy. (And Dad gets to spend more time in his garage with his bikes).
