One of my paintings, titled 'In Between', I wonder what you guys will make of it, be gentle with me, I do have a Masters degree for validation but still not much self confidence. I think of my work in terms of 'mindscapes' and always have. Have a feeling this is going to load really small, if at all...
Hope it shows up big enough to see it.
Yes! Still don't know how to delete one of these posts! She didn't tell me. And I can't find her question..
True, it makes a change! Funny how we all muddle along just about making our technology work for us. (except people like Elephant who know what they are doing).
I saved it and looked that way, the resolution stays more static that way when you zoom. I have a laptop too but find my iPhone quicker and easier to handle. Nice to have positive things talk about too!
Thank you Misfit, I imagine it is a bit small on an iPhone. On my phone if I tap the image it makes it a little larger and then you can pinch to zoom in a bit, try it. There is only so much to ne gained though as I had to reduce the resolution so much to upload it the detail is a bit fuzzy. Really appreciate your kind words.
I like it too but bit tricky on my phone( my working poc!) I like the colour blends. Thank you for sharing it with us
Nah! Legs are too short...
It is my mental image of Tom when he's come out of the sea having gone swimming in the winter!!!!
Love to see some of big stuff! You've got me hungry for more now!
I like it!
Not to undermine your efforts...below is some of my best work! Lol
Wow, I'm honoured (and how the hell did you manage that?) The resolution thing is a pain as it's a high res scan to sell as prints and I had to reduce it to a tiny fraction of the original. Digital files, not my forte.
Some would say (and have said) that I can't draw, I'm firmly in the camp that says anyone can express themselves with mark making if they experiment. I don't think using Gimp is cheating, the creativity comes from your head, art is ultimately about ideas as well as aesthetics. Digital tools are valid.
Thank you Tom, I'm really happy you guys like it the original is about 51cm / 20 inches square. It's watercolour, ink and pens on really heavy watercolour paper. My MA work was mostly about 8 feet by 10 feet using wax pigment and graphite, so it's a bit of a departure and a lot of the recent work has been tiny, like 16 cm square. I really appreciate the support!
I like your inner art critic, very perceptive and thank you! As you've said before, I believe the 'truth' lies in the cracks between intention, actuality and perception. Or something like that...
''Twas a phonetic spelling...I can say no more than that! :p
My God! Gadzooks! You've woken the Martian! X
Austistc? You been at the wine?
Autistic / artistic.... potato / potarto.... lol!
I wish I was artistic in that way. Can't draw or paint. Gimp allows me to create the images in my head - but it feels like cheating. I love doing photomontages and memes.
It is now my desktop wallpaper! Love it!....
