Very sensible. Picasso got it right. He weren't stupid that bloke.

Our learned and refined critics seem to think they are. Just goes to show good art and beauty are in the eye of the beholder.

That's very impressive, especially the first one, love the colours. Something like that on the wall will just brighten up any room.

Abstract was my suggestion half jokingly when you first started, anyway I kn ow stuff all about art. I gave up on paintings when I was completely underwhelmed viewing the Mona Lisa.

Well done indeedy.

Dear boy I think everyone was rendered speechless by the way you captured your subject.

Methinks a veritable masterpiece.

With seeming effortless ease you have used colour and perspective to provide an almost photographic image of the moment.

Your deft brush strokes have given this work the all hallmarks of greatness with movement and life a plenty plus deep soulful eyes which follow one around the room.

I have printed a copy and Matron says if I take my medication tonight without the need for restraints, I can put it up on the wall.

I was midway through my first abstract nude when the mosquitoes outside started driving me crazy.

I'm not allowed to paint indoors.

**jandajoy** · 20-10-2008, 07:36 PM

Looks good. Maybe some Mossie net around the place.

**jandajoy** · 20-10-2008, 07:37 PM

the dangly light thing seems to be an influence on your work...............

**ChiangMai noon** · 20-10-2008, 07:39 PM

^
indeed.

tomorrow I shall try to fashion an easle out of bits of left over wood.

**jandajoy** · 20-10-2008, 07:41 PM

And some clean white light ????

**ChiangMai noon** · 20-10-2008, 10:16 PM

here's that nude i was working on this afternoon.

it's nowhere near finished though, will fukk around with it tomorrow.

oops, forgot to rotate it.

**ChiangMai noon** · 20-10-2008, 10:27 PM

there...fixed it.

i think maybe she's pregnant.

needs a lot more work on the background and the body, maybe a bit of scenery,......and was a bit rushed.... will have her done tomorrow I think.

Leave it. It is an abstract after all.

**ChiangMai noon** · 20-10-2008, 10:31 PM

I used the chinese ink on this one to draw the outline.

need to paint into it a bit though, i'm going to add quite a few more colours too.

my wife hates it.

**Marmite the Dog** · 20-10-2008, 10:46 PM

Jaunty tits on her.

Good effort, Noony. I've not painted for years as music was my medium for so long, but it would be interesting to see how much of a mess of it I would make if I attempted to paint again. Think I'll stick to photography...

**ChiangMai noon** · 20-10-2008, 10:49 PM

this last one was inspired, not quite downright copied from a lesson on youtube by an abstract artist.

youtube rocks.

hope they don't close it.

**Loombucket** · 21-10-2008, 12:20 AM

Nice effort. I like a bit of painting myself and have just finished painting my little cabin in the rice fields. It's made from lolly sticks, chopsticks and toothpicks, so I are not quite in the same league as you, but it was fun none the less.
