Art?

[Xwetie]

I should probably say, this is basically our first time paintings, we really suck at it but it was good fun!

Gunning for Kandinsky/Pollock right out of the gate eh? I like the red/yellow/green/blue painting.

It is fun to mess around a bit on the canvas, very freeing. If you want to work at it and hone some skills I suggest just doing some easy stuff, work on shading, work on a horizon line, use a color wheel to help images pop off the canvas. Do continue to have fun with it, art is expression and doesn't have to be so serious all of the time.

Nice thread, kabonghead you got some talent. Xwetie I actually liked a couple of those paintings you posted. I have not done any painting in years but i think a single painting can be just as powerful as a song, a good book or poem or a movie. We have a few nice art museums in my state including the museums at Yale (the school) when I visit I can find myself gazing on a Van Gogh or another great for an hour thinking only five minutes had passed.

Problem with being an artist is your work is only appreciated when you are dead.

Isn't everything? Things become a more value when your dead, just look at my grandpas gold medal from a boxing 1968, is priceless for me!

Been studying up a lot on Basquiat, he was an interesting fellow. He'd be 56 right now if he hadn't died of a heroin overdose.
