Seeing the questions on art in another thread I thought I'd give this a bump to show everyone a place to share their stuff with the rest of the forum.

OK, here's some of the stuff I've done this past month.
Someone needs to help me figure out how to post them. They are in my pics file and when clicked on they come up in Picassa program....no URL.

Alright, below the posting box is a button that says 'upload a file' - click that, and then navigate to where the images are stored on your computer. Select the files and hit 'open' or 'okay' (I forget which one it is). You can do it multiple times if you have multiple images, or, if you know how, you can select multiple images at once.

Thanks Reclusive!

No, thank you - those are beautiful! The way you use light and shadow is really unique and interesting... it really draws you in.....

LOL... my present mediums are cooking, jewelry making, and flower arranging (for gifts). I want a very clear and lucid moment where I can focus "who I am", it just hasn't happened yet.

I can't draw worth a wahoo! LOL But I write, and am putting my experiences into writing. It's the only way I can get through this, even though it is putting me through flashbacks. I warn you, if you start something like this annd are having flashbacks, immediately talk to your psychologist, pychiatrist, therapist, whoever the heck you have...your team needs to know.

Wow TLight, I love your paintings!

Oh thank you all. I so love positive feedback. Something none of us got when we were growing up it seems. What a difference it makes in life.
Thanks again.

I posted somewhere around here about feeling stuck and not having been able to start back up and I can't remember who said something like "just do it and stop thinking" , I really can't remember the words but that was the feeling, like whimsically get going! :) I couldn't shake the feeling, then my husband last weekend blurted out again that he just loved my paintings. I started getting down on myself again, that the best ones I did I had given away to people I'll never see or talk to again. I do hands and spheres but I got caught trying to please a very unpleaseable (I know, not a word, sorry, but she is not really a good person so it fits) person. He said the ones have yet to be painted, how cool is that??

So after our window got blown out in a very weird and loud way, literally moments after he said that, I got an visual that I wanted to paint. I got it started and I'm sooooo excited! I had also seen this documentary about a group of artists in the 90s that had ran into each other in New York and just made art, no training, just squatted and did it. The one thing that stood out for me was what one guy said and that was it comes from within, you can learn "how to" but don't let anyone tell you you aren't doing it right. Yours is your voice. I heard that and remembered that for some unknown reason I have always known how to paint hands, ever I was a child. My first art teacher took over one of projects because he thought I was doing it wrong, so I never took it again. I did things myself. Sometimes good sometimes the way they are suppose to be.

I love these post and seeing what you all are doing, they so fantastic!

I've just started drawing again. It's been 30 years. These are my first 3 attempts. The dolphin is a compilation of 3 photos I took in Vancouver BC recently, the other 2 are of two of my granddaughters and Titus (or dog we just put this last Thursday). I've never tried drawing people before so this is waaay new LOL!

I don't know, I LOVE them all! I was awed my Mercedes, then I saw Titus and that really touched me :') so well done.
Thank you for sharing.
