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.
Wow! Truly!
That's great, Spotty. What's your medium?
It comes up about the size of a birthday card, which is fine. How big is it?
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.
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.
