SoWal Virtual Art Gallery

[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.

[potatovixen]

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

[Ocean Lover]

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.

[drunkkenartist]

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 finally did a new picture! I saw this picture of Drew Barrymore in a magazine and thought it was just too cute. So I did this:

Danjo

[Miss Kitty]

...I heart Danjo! You captured him wonderfully!

[Mango]

Nice work PV and SJ.

P.S. I did 2 more paintings for the one for the bathroom called Colors of Sowal, and another one of margaritas.

I think they may inspire movement. Which end I am not sure.

Great idea...here one of my own...did this painting about 2 years ago.



My kids love this place!

I love me as a mermaid! Can you do this at my new house?

We will have to have a grand viewing party in potty!

[Beachmom]

[30A Skunkape]

Nice work Beachmom!

[potatovixen]

This is a little different than the artwork on this thread. My latest wood kayak. This is a view looking backwards toward the cockpit.

[pgurney]

A better view of the kayak. It's about 16 feet long, 21 inches wide.

[Mango]

That's some beautiful handiwork pgurney.

and PV, as usual, cool.

[JUL]

[2bohemians]

[Smiling JOe]

Never left the drawing board. Just haven't been photographing and posting pics of my art, lately. However, other than a watercolor or two, this is the first painting that I've done in a few years. Color always scares me, but after a couple hundred black and white drawings, I need a touch of balance.

Thank you for sharing Dolly with us! She's incredible ... that might be the largest paper mache we've ever seen. Is it a commission piece?
