A thread to share our master peices.

Ok...here it goes....

This is a painting I did that sold at a charity auction...

"March of the Sunflower" - Watercolour

Cool Bella. I really like it.

Here is some stuff I've done

I also decorate cakes. Here are the most recent ones I made

I dabble in many different things (sew once in a while, cake decorating, drawing, posters, etc) but the real artist is my son. He has worked in almost every media and does great in all of them. He has sold a couple of his pieces when he was still in high school. Now he is apprentising to be a tattoo artist. Here are some of his works. The first is the most recent tattoo he did on a friend. Then a sketch done with prismacolor pencils of his girlfriend's niece, a couple of pen and pencil sketches. The spiderman scene was done on my garage wall, he had just received an airbrush for Xmas and was trying it out. I hate that a few months after that we thought we were going to move (military) and we had to paint over it. Now that he lives in another state, and I find comfort in all the drawings and paintings and sandblasted mirrors he has given me, I miss that one when I go into the garage.

Your son is a talented guy new hope. Wow.

Thank you, I am very proud of him. I have always encouraged him. When my kids were little, we would take crayons, paper, pencils every where we went so that the kids were never bored. All 3 can draw, but my middle son has really blossomed. You can tell how he feels (depressed, happy, comfortable, etc) by his work.

New hope your sons art is beautiful! I am not the real artist in my fam either my huzby is. Here is a link to some of his work.

Thank you. I looked at his gallery, very good. I especially like "Imp". He's very talented with portraits too it appears. It's like a special gift when someone close to you is so talented, a gift that is always giving. My son is always sending me pix on my phone or via email. I love it!

wow people are posting now :crying: I would love to post some of my art and poetry I haven't written anything lately but I plan on it. It's hard to post my art though cause i dont have a scanner so I have to take pics of it with my digital camera. I will do this sometime soon since I am the one who made this group LOL I need to participate.

I did this for our yearly Dia los muertos show (I think I spelled that right I don't speak spanish) which is the "Day of the dead".

Love it Ready!!! I've just been thinking a lot about Dia de los Muertos and what a lovely celebration it is. I saw your painting and immediately thought of that then read what you wrote about it. Yep, it's perfect.

Lots of talent here on LBT!

Newhope - your son is very talented.

Minx - your cakes look too good to eat!

RSG - I love the picture and to me it strikes the right mixture of celebration and death.

The next quilt I finish, I will try to take a better pic and focus more on the hand quilting rather than the pattern as (to my mind) it really is the hand work that is the most interesting. Too bad I hadn't thought of that before I donated my last one!

Now to go and read some of the poetry....

tapshoes, thank you very much! I'm very proud (like you couldn't tell)

Minxz, wish you were near me. I've been looking for a baker who delivers. At work we need cakes a few times a month, and it would be great if we had one on call that would deliver!

tapshoes and Ezma- two of my favorite people ever.
