Uncle Timmy

Ok, I got this idea after Mango sent me a pick of one of her new paintings she is working on.

Let's post pics of our art here and create a Virtual Art Gallery.

Anyone is welcome to post a pic of a painting, sculpture, drawing or whatever that they have personally created.

I can't wait to see what kind of talented folks we have here..............

Mango

Good idea Timmy.
Although right now, I am still
I need lots of vino to go live.

Mango, I loved your pic! You my dear, are not giving yourself nearly enough credit. I think UT's idea is spot on.

Great idea! I know we've got a lot of talent here on this board!

Love this idea. I'll be a lurker tho...tonight I tried to doodle something "beachmom like" in the car today while waiting for Dylan's lacrosse practice to end...let's just say I STILL am not an artiste.

I have already been in the works to expand my 5 page website, to a 15 page website, creating a Virtual Art Gallery for all my friends and fellow former artists of Collaborations! I think its a grayt idea!
Mine will be a shopping site though, where folks can purchase the items.
However I'm all about free exposure and I think a Virtual Art Gallery on here would be fantastic! And if someone makes a sale from it, more power to them!
Example, if Beachmom wants to sell what I call the "Starry, Starry, Night Bunnies".... Of course I strongly suggest she keep the original and sell prints! That painting is a grayt marketing piece!
Let's get this ball rolling. Here's a pic of a recently retired set of glassware, (as apparently the glassware has been discontinued, so the style gets discontinued as well)
This is entitled "Lisa's Passion" after my friend Lisa that has been coming down from Ohio, twice a year for 23 years to lay on the beach, oh, and to see me too!

I really miss Collaborations.

A few of my proudest artistic moments:

I drew this for the wife of a former co-worker. She LOVES Tommy Lee. But, FTLOG, the tattoos took a looooong time.

Of all my drawings, this is the one that gets the most positive comments.
And this is one of the very few done in full-color.
This is an older one from a few years ago. It was the first time I drew teeth that didn't look like corn on the cob.

This one was just funn.

Is this a self portrait drawing, or photo? It is really cool. I've been seeing several of these half head self portraits lately. One of my friends takes self portrait photos all the time with half heads. It really makes the mind work a bit more than capturing the entire image.

Actually it is a photo of a self portrait that she did on canvas in acrylics. It's huge -- 40"x30" -- and she can crank these out in less than an hour.

She also did Joakim's bunny ears. LOL.

Mango

UT, That's excellent.

DKA, saw your website, grayt stuff. When are you going to make glasses with mangoes on them?

SJ and PV, BJ, as always grayt work.

here's a lttle still life of some very evil little objects. I called it "economic stimulus package". Lest we forget that there is a war going on.

graphite and white conte on grey paper...


and here's a mixed-media painting called "strategic reserve"...



and here's a good tongue-in-cheek painting called "self-portrait as liberator"...
oil on panel

Damn, boy, you are good!

Fresh off the guitar this morning. (This probably only makes sense to me. I use the back of my guitar for my drawing table, since it is a smooth and hard surface. )

I just started playing around with paints for funn, so don't laugh. I am still tweaking them. Does anyone ever really feel like something is finished? This one is for my Bouganvilla bathroom.
I did a similar one for a special sowaler. who is building a house.

Acrylics on canvas



I saw a print I liked and then put some of my own colors.

Nice paintings Mango!

Aren't you returning soon to your bouganvilla bathroom?

BTW- I bought a bouganvilla the other day and thought of you!

Mango

Thanks. Counting the days to the Bougainvilla bathroom.
You know when you start painting the beach it's time to go there.
I am sure your plant will live a long happy life at the dargs.

Beautiful paintings, Mango. My wife is making ceramic tiles with sea turtles on them. We plan on putting them in the bathroom shower in the house we are building. I think it is grayt when you can create something like a painting or pottery and make it part of your house !!

Mango

I'll never tell. But I suspect she or he will put in the laundry room since it is the least used room.

Thanks PV. Glad they made you smile. They make me laugh personally.

Thanks Goofer. I'd love to see the tiles when she's finished. I bet it will be beautiful, and most of all special since she made them herselves.
