Let's Inspire each other to be Creative

Lisa, I made a Picasso album, but how do I find it again!!!

Well this got too big. No room to write about it. This is called 'Running of the goats'. From a mission of mercy trip.

Thanks BinVa...for the tip. Did I do something wrong? I did click on the big one instead of the small comment box one.

my 92 year old mother is heavy into pastels and has been for years, she does beautiful work..too bad I didn't inherit her artistic gene...

Thanks guys, but I kind of wanted to write something like you do Lisa. All in one post. Oh well, I'm an artist not a techy.

My friend was over there last fall and she ended up getting this picture which I painted because I LOVED it and she was gracious enough to let me paint it. She's also a BC survivor.

SunflowersM- I use DaVinci watercolors,they are high quality and you can get the big 37 ml tubes which I like, and some (certain colors) in WN. I paint Plein Aire whenever I can. Finishing in my studio. Outside painting is a challenge for watercolor. Dries too quick. One of the groups I belong to paint ONLY outside and must have a waterway in them. They work with the LNRP which makes sure our waterways and water basins are kept up to snuf. Did I tell you I was in their 2012 calendar competition and I had a painting accepted. That's huge.It'll represent the month of September.You will love Dobies book. She paints only with transparent wc.

Oh, I forgot...the picture was from Kenya.

oh, I love love it

Thank you...I used to have a huge bush of these Angle (or Devil) trumpets in my garden.

Unfortunately they didn't reseed themselves after many years so now all I have is the painting to remind me how beautiful they really were.

I can't remember how to attach images to these notes.... there is a little icon with a picture that when you opein it says to "insert image" but it requires a URL.... how do you just paste an image from your computer?  I have a couple of things that I would like to share.  Thanks.

I have really enjoyed the artistic creations from you all!  Thanks!

So painterly...explain your creativity. You must paint correct? I'm new on this thread so excuse me if you have to repeat yourself, but I'd like to know. If you paint do you have work to show?

n3ypd- Someone was very helpful for me yesterday and said the easiest way is...if you have a picture on Facebook, all you do is click on the picture and 'copy', then bring up this post box and click in it and 'paste'. I didn't have the URL so this was supper easy. still wish they a little smaller.

artsee, put the words you want to say in the comment box BEFORE you bring the picture in and then you'll have the words with the picture.

after you put in a photo  press enter a couple of times and the cursor moves to the bottom ..

I've posted stuff on other threads and just tried to get into my Photobucket account and can't!!

I have been going back to the beginning of this thread and I am so enjoying every ones wonderful contribution of their art work. I'm impressed with all the talent and I'd like to encourage EVERYONE to post more. Show us what you are working on, or have completed and put it in the closet.Someone on here will love it.

SoCallisa- I'd love to paint your Calalillies that you posted towards the beginning of the thread.They are white and orange....lovely.

Painterly- You do beautiful landscapes. Very nice.

artsee, there were 300 pics of the roosters or just any 8x10 picture? How do you frame them? I LOVE framing my photos, I find that is half the art. AND I name each picture I frame and put it on the other side of my signature. I have a LOT of pictures up!
