Since Snuffy P.M. said he was a painter I thought I’d open a line of discusion to show of visual arts here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dabob23/2187402993/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dabob23/628914954/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dabob23/50059336/sizes/o/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dabob23/43366524/sizes/o/ copy and paste the web addresses to see the art.
I paint, mostly acrylic. One of my canvasses - a portrait of a friend - is on flickr, its on the entry for ‘rich tourist’
what is your name on flickr? cause I can’t find it man
I paint cars, trucks & occasionally things such as motorcycle tanks etc. I do some hand painted pinstripes on occasion.
Bob, I don’t have an account or whatever its called, my painting is on my friends bunch of photos and the name he uses is ‘richtourist’ if thats not enough to search on ill get the details off him, sorry i don’t even remotley know about this stuff
i do a little bit of folk art type stuff to sell at my farmers markets. birdhouse gourds animals on rocks or flower scenes stuff like that, nothing special but every now and then something turns out extra good and i keep it for myself and put it in the flower garden, or just on display in my dad’s taxidermy shop.
When you scratch the surface, we really are quite an arty bunch, seems like most of us play an instrument and paint, maybe thats snuff takers for you?
cool I’ll check that out. Johndeere love to see some of your crafts, since I never take someones word on their work when they say it’s nothing special. Hey just checked it out very cool. Strange piece indeed. Really like the use of light.
well, so far i don’t play an instrument tried guitar for a little while but i failed miserably, my fingers are to short and fat, good for hard work just not plucking strings lateley i have been trying the harmonica pretty slow so far but shows alot more promise then the guitar. and bob i prolly won’t have any good picks till summer as that’s when i’ll be back on the farm (which is where i do most of the crafts).
Here is a painted carving I did about 2 years ago. His name is Prayer Times. The battle is over and he is thanking God he has survived. I also like to do southwestern landscapes in watercolor and/or gouache.
Bob, if you type in ‘brother nige’s painting of brother rich’ its there. along with some pictures of us
I can’t get yours up bob and he is so cute jarhog!
I too must confess to being a part time artist. I paint mostly acrylics, but also some oils. It’s very dark in Danmark during the winter months, but when spring comes, I’ll be taking my easel and box out in the field again.
Well, I paint as opposed to regarding myself as an artist. I enjoy it a lot but have very little skill, but it is one of the greatest stress relievers I know.
Bob, can you post a picture here of your work, try as I might I can’t get anything to come up on flickr
I do a bit of painting with acrylics… The skeletons are 10mm high. And then there’s these guys:
Figures also 10mm high. It keeps me out of mischief anyway!
I can’t play any instruments, neither do I paint but I do snuff a lot!!! Can that also be classed as an art?? I did some jewellery designing although I cannot make the stuff myself. I designed wedding rings for both me and my wife when we got married for the second time. I also wear a ring with my family crest and a disc around my neck which are my own designs. It seems as if snuffers are not just ordinary people, unlike cigarette smokers. Pipe and cigar smokers also seem to be a little “otherwise”.
tony great job on the minatures. Wow there is definatly some talent on this list.
