dreamscape (colour).jpg 90x90cm Hmmm. Not sure this one is working. I wanted a dreamscape (is there such a word :lol: ) as opposed to a seascape. I wanted cloudy water with movement rather than waves, but I feel it is too white. I am also aware that the stones (I've PVA'd half my side garden onto t...

Hey JJ.
Our names and titles are disappearing now too
What's occurring?

Hey Ross. Some great pieces here :) Problem is, they roll past before I can get a good look at them. So feedback is proving difficult. The music is really nice too. However, (and this is just my own preference) I feel each painting should have it's own music. (If you intend to set your art to music)...

Sorry for coming back late to your reply since I messed up my password. :D Hey, not a bother. Your comment is such a compliment, and this forum gives me a lot of encouragement that sent me to a drawing class. I know I am still new at drawing and wondering if there is a place for beginners, then I w...

Hey Churinga. Welcome. :) There's not many visitors to this part of the woods. OK. These canvases are 20x20cm and yes, they are seriously heavy with paint. That was my intention. All three were painted along side each other and so they should (and do) match re consistency. I think abstraction goes s...

There's a sad, reflective quality, as she recalls all those dreams and intentions, all those lost days, days that are gone forever. And so she sits, quietly sipping her sloe gin, sober and acquiescent. Yep, that's what I got from this. Thanks JJ, for saying just what I wanted to say but couldn't fi...

The funny thing about painting with only one lamp working is the loss of depth (stereo disparity). I would often miss my mark and put a huge splodge of paint anywhere but where I intended. To get round this I would bring my face close to the canvas then guide the tip of the brush to the general int...

Much to like here Ross. It's late. I'm tired and I'm ready for my bed so rather than explain what did and did not work for me I found it easier to chop a few line brakes and words and offer you my suggestions to take or toss. Here you go. All offered in good spirit :) Hours Ago Toddlers gallop throu...

dear Pauline thankyuuu for sharing your truth You are more than welcome :) i have though left comment/critque here at this forum as long ago as 2016 Oh, I am sorry. I must have missed that. only today for the first time did i post a poem of my own as well as the announcement of this anthology Yes. ...

Well, I've finally had my much awaited eye operation and I'm pleased to report it all went swimmingly. Yay. That's great news :) he sight in my right lamp is still dodgy :lol: Sorry for laughing but, that is something I would say. It feels near enough normal and I'm no longer left sided. Of course ...

Hey, lovely to see you around again Lake. :D Jeez, you've come on leaps and bounds. I remember your first tentative efforts. You had some lovely stuff but this is a completely different ball game. This is stunning. :) A wonderfully tranquil scene. I love the subtle teal addition. A confident, beauti...

Hi Tristan. I like the idea, Me too :) However, I’m not feeling this one. It could be about a shih tzu dressed in its latest winter jumper. I think it needs a little more of a back story. A hint to what you had and what you have lost. Sorry to be so negative. :| In the distance, I saw love  Your lov...

this anthology includes 4 silent lotus poems in the original English Well, that's lovely. :) the art on the cover is from my wife Nermin Kura Nice one. It's very evocative. Great colours and seriously sexy shapes. I don't know you. Nor your wife. I have not read a poem either you or your wife have ...

It was a pleasant surprise for me to see it on there. Made my day it did.

Thanks again for your kind words fellas.

I did like.
Coudnt't believe it.
Took 15 mins from me offering my pic to having it posted online live.
WTF!!!

I wouldn't change a thing. New news, same radio. New cup of coffee, same taste. Love these opening lines They say milk contains sugars but it tastes like bones. The news announcer speaks in a rush as if we're all drowning. I turn it off, now it's almost silent, a few birds distantly calling. My pen ...

Mine's milk, no sugar.

It's whatever ya want it to be JJ.

I was chuffed you felt the movement in in JJ.
Not just movement but speed.

JJWilliamson wrote:Just gettin' into it.

Great stuff.

[quote="JJWilliamson"]Pauline!! That did the trick. I've learnt something new. [/quote
Every day's a school day JJ.
Pleased I could help.

If you right click the red x and select show picture, your painting will come back .
You will also have to click onto the pic to get the full size.

Inspired by Claes Oldenburgs Bottle of notes installed in Centre Square Middlesbrough, and now an iconic part of the Middlesbrough landscape.

Aha! I see you have moved into your geometrical abstract phase! It feels to me as if a bit of a fight is going on. I think Red is winning and is using the kind of hammers used to play vibes. Yellow is wisely holding back. :lol: :lol: :lol: Very enjoyable Thanks Seth. Chuffed it raised a smile. :) C...
