Art from the distant past

Jan 13, 2009 17:23

Ages ago I said I'd scan a few things I painted and drew about ten, fifteen years ago. Well, thanks to my extended stay at my parents', I've finally gotten around to that (they have a scanner). So, without much further ado:

A small example of the kind of thing I used to paint, when I still did miniature watercolour painting

I wish I could scan ( Read more... )

Those are pretty good art pictures. :)

Thanks! hmpf January 13 2009, 19:08:31 UTC

I need to find a way to scan the larger ones... There's one that took me a year or two to finish! This is small fry, really.

Absolutely lovely, and the miniatures are fabulous!

Thank you! hmpf January 14 2009, 19:46:42 UTC

I made quite a lot of those, back then. That was when I still had oodles and oodles of spare time, obviously. *g*

This stuff is really great - I'm especially taken with the bored-doodle of all the leaves!

Heh. hmpf January 14 2009, 19:45:33 UTC

At least school was good for *something*... ;-)

Pretty, pretty art :)
And you know what? That first Art of Boredom looks so much alike to what I draw at school! Except, in my case, were roses. Hundreds and hundred of little, tangled roses :)

I had half a mind to... hmpf January 14 2009, 19:44:59 UTC

create a blog about The Art of Boredom, for everyone to send their doodles to. Because, yeah, lots of people produce amazing stuff when bored. I have lots more to scan yet, too... *g*

Re: I had half a mind to... birggitt January 14 2009, 21:08:34 UTC

That is seriously a great idea. Now, I should look for those doodles... just in case *laughs*

Okay, you know what? hmpf January 15 2009, 19:15:47 UTC

I have a few more weeks to go on the thesis, but after that, I'll see what I can do. It's not like starting a blog and posting the occasional scan to it (including reader submissions) should require a lot of work. :-)
