Some of my art work.

[SweetCaroline]

Photos are great, but now I want to see some art. Some of you have seen these a Brazilian times, but many of the newer folks haven't.

Basically just a random bunch of drawings and paintings, ranging from doodle to sold work.

I thought I'd start with a few more recent works, then show you some of my older stuff...

These first two I did last summer, on my patio porch, where I do most of my painting these days...

Patio stairs...

An old painting, but I used it as part of my Graphics Design class last semester, where the project was to design a book cover. It came out great except I spelled Metamorphosis wrong. :o

A doodle from my Graphics Design sketch book. I was supposed to be studying different fonts of the letter "R" but my mind wandered...

A photoshop (actually MS Paint) of the newest movie of the summer...:D

A more recent surrealist work, based on a dream i had. I'm thinking of calling this "The Hall of the Transcended" :D

Great Artwork Longgrain!! :hug: :) :hi2: :woohoo:

[SweetCaroline]

Thanks lil lady, CG, and Ralps. :hi2:

Glad you liked. I'll post some more soon, next chance I get. I have a lot of different types of styles I like to work from, so hopefully, you'll stick around. :)

[TheBoss(DCA)]

Great work my friend. I wish I had your talent. *twothumbsup*

[SweetCaroline]

Thanks Dan, and everyone else...

Here's a few more of my old surreal ones. I was big into this type of painting back in college, and was reading a lot of stuff like Sartre, and Herman Hesse, so there's a bit of an existential influence in these.

Warning tho, they are kinda creepy...

One of my best, entitled "Sleeping With the Fishes", a professional artist friend of mine from another board owns the original drawing for this...

This one is called "The Resurrection" after the Tolstoy story...

I forgot what I titled this one, but I painted it right after reading "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov...

Finally a little more joyful one to finish this set. This one's called "If This were August; This would be Perfect." Sorry for the bad photo, it a scan of an old newspaper article, but it's hard to photograph since this painting is huge (five feet by ten)...

How many's a Brazilian? :rofl:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

No I've never been to Brazil and I'm of Irish/ French/ Lithuanian heritage. The "Chair City" refers to my home town of Gardner, MA which was once a furniture manufacturing center. Now mostly just a bunch of empty factories.

Thanks for the compliments tho. :happy0122[1]:

You are too kind. Thank you.

I'll get some more of my stuff up later, I promise. :hi2:

[EricForman]

Hey, nice stuff!

I really wish I could paint and draw, but I suck at both.

[SweetCaroline]

Thanks Eric, thanks everyone. As promised here are some more...

A still life...this now belongs to a very dear lady from California, who I used to know from DU and sometimes posts here. :)

Another student work from my art school days, just a some Railroad tracks under a highway bridge from my hometown....

And lastly, a couple of abstracts. I love abstract art, but rarely paint it myself. These were based on the I-Ching actually. I wanted to do a series based on the sixty-four hexagrams, but these are the only two I ever completed. I forget what the second one was, but the first one I believe is "Wind over Mountain" (advancing)...

Thanks. the photo is a lot "brighter and colorful" than the original since it was taken outdoors in bright sunlight, so the camera pickuped a lot of reflections of the paint that would normally be more subtle...

Still, I like it too. :hi2:
