Nice! I know nothing about art, but I know what I like. And I love the way you've used the colors on Flare and Sea. Very nice indeed - perhaps you should do more of this painting thing!
Thanks. :) The painting thing comes and goes. I'm thrilled that I was able to salvage those two:
heart had had a very dark core and no balance; I changed the deep red to the flowing red/yellow, added the orange flames (actually added a bunch more but the orange/red went over them as I figured out what I was doing), and added the top and right yellow lines for balance).
Hungry Sea was just plain (and also unbalanced). There'd been no sea, just a strip of graying brown. But blue-ing things, making it flow, and pulling it up into the other parts of the painting really helped.
I love the hungry sea one and the top one that makes me think of a cat. The colors are amazing. They're muted and bright at the same time. Love that gray you worked in on that top picture.
One problem with physical paintings is you have to find them good homes or they crowd. I've got stacks and stacks--and some are decent ;) Hard drive space is MUCH cheaper than sq. footage.
That's my least favorite ;) But I don't quite like the style of it, and it's not at all what I actually wanted to paint. I'm thrilled if people like it, though. I'll take what I can get ;) And if. Something. Something. What? Lost my train of thought... oh, yeah. If enough people like it maybe I won't futz with it later. :)
I'm still having trouble visualizing what I wanted to paint, which is at least half of the problem; and the other half is just my technical ability is pretty low. :)
haha Isn't there a saying somewhere or at least a... something about how the work you dislike the most might be the best you've ever done? Or something to that effect. ;) In my opinion, it really is a neat painting of something I would have never even dreamed of. And a lot of accidents are todays best inventions. ;)
Let it be known that your technical ability is far past mine. ;)
I seem to always visualize paintings or comics as if I was ever able to draw/paint. No problem dreaming up something for some reason. I do that often with stories or if I have an opinion about something that ends up being funny. Kind of makes me want to start another stick person webcomic for the internetz to moan about. lol. i don't know what the point of saying that was. I just typed. xD

Now you need to wait for the art critics (I'm sure there are plenty out there!).

Based on a doodle I did, it's called Cat with Yarn on Rug:

You should. ;) You know, or work on a computer game. Or your writing. Or both. While skanking. On a football field ;)
