4. I get like that some times
I did them at a senior citizen class that I teach.

Painting calms my nerves, and helps me forget all the crap that's going on with my life.

I absolutely love your work. Was that your sink that was posted a while back? I loved that one, too.

9. You really put class time to good use.
My painting teacher teaches at a senior center too. He loves teaching art so much. He is determined that the traditions and techniques he learned will outlast him.

Yeah, that was my sink, thanks. I hope to finally finish that next week.

Paint on!

6. That's pretty cool. Love the composition, plus it's a nice face.
Do you think you'll paint much again any time soon?

10. Maybe
Here's one of my paintings. I love to paint but I really don't have a good place to do it other than my kitchen. There's a skylight in the kitchen. I do pastels some since the clean-up is a whole lot easier than all the oils and turpentine, etc.

I do like your mindset and point of view. :thumbsup:

19. Something I did this week.
Edited on Sat Aug-25-07 06:05 PM by Gregorian
It was supposed to be funny.

edit- I didn't say it would be anything remotely as fantastic as what you guys have done. That's real art.

23. Since I just recorded this and it's after midnight, technically I made this on Sunday
Edited on Sun Aug-26-07 02:44 AM by DarkTirade
but since I work the night shift, it's still Saturday to me. :)

I just picked up my violin for the first time in a few years and started playing.

http://www.stickmanltd.com/practicesessions/violinafterseveralyears.mp3

Pretty much just a somber eastern european fiddle style improv piece. Try saying THAT ten times fast.

*edit* I apologize for a few missed notes and out of tune moments... as I said, I haven't played in a while. And if you listen closely, you can hear a moment in there where I cut a few missed licks out. :)

25. Great as always.
I still have nothing really new, aside from this abandoned piece that I gave up on and forgot about before I ever bothered to finish it months ago, haha.



I'm working on something new but god knows when or if I'll finish, haha.

28. I do like your painting it's cool, though in lieu of my having any 'art' to display...
I'll need to be posting this, and yes it's cheesy...but 'the art', my art is in there somewhere http://www.sag.org/sagWebApp
