[smkie]

You do such great Staff faces! They're so cute. I'm with Renee; I love the male chatting up his girl at the bar.

The way the two standing on this side of the pool table are looking off to the side tells a real story too - must be a real babe standing just out of the picture, lol!

when i went to the tute..my friend Charles and i use to go to a bar that had an upper balcony and sit, while we had a drink we would sketch the people below..life as an artist..one day you will notice just noses....since this one scanned..i am going to try another you might like..my uncle asked me to draw this for him...first thing he ever asked..first time he showed any interest in my talent..he asks me to draw cat crap in an ashtray and a bunch of people standing around with pacifiers in their mouths..i'll find it now..i will spare you the first...Charles is out there in the world somewhere and i don't know where..last gallery card was a decade ago..he was a wonderful young male artist...a good friend

Pretty odd request! :eek:

[darkchild16]

i was thinking the same thing

[gapeach]

Sorry Smkie got to get to bed, will see it tomorrow!

[smkie]

first one acrylic..gift for Kelly's little girl...represents gil with her two best friends...pocket of of red and black check went with the painting i did for her brother same Christmas did three paintings as a series..one for each child.
the second i already explained...mom failed to tell my unc was color blind..could have done the whole thing black and white.

The kittens are sweet, Are the adults with the pacies trying to kick the habit?

[gapeach]

See ya later Smkie love the art, wish I had such a great talent! Goodnight :D

[Renee750il]

OMG! They're both great - like always - and the one for your Unc is just a hoot! That belongs in a gallery.

[smkie]

hnow how do you think your dog would look like? It be worth it just to see their face. im so bad...life is too short for people like that
the pacifier people aren't trying to kick the habit..my uncle is the typical reformed smoker judging all those that haven't quit...thus the cat crap in the ashtray..i drew it for him too kitty litter traces right along with the ashes and vapors..made it a cut glass ashtray too did it all computer

[smkie]

He didn't tell me how to put the dogs..just do a bar scene..this was my thinking of what they would be doing...like i see people everywhere..mary and the grocery line..the clerk and a woman with horrible children was what inspired that..the man that ordered the painting wanted to print it on t-shirts with his kennel name and have them for sale at the shows. i wanted one and told him i would pay for it, but after a couple unaswered e-mails i gave up. Don't know if they used it or not, they paid a lot for it tho so that is the end of my connection with the painting.ohhhh if you mean my uncle..he is a strange bird..genius and antisocial...very judgemental..has many pantents out on motor things....mechanical genius.

you draw so great smkie i wish i had your talent

[smkie]

i consider myself blessed with that and my piano..i need to get back to doing what i am meant to do..i tend to let lots of things interfere...need to have a schedule and stick to it. I wanted to start a daily journal because so many things go thru my head and never touch paper..like Vic and Renee's dog swing dancing..or pack on wheels..it was my new years resolution and i have yet to start. Tomorrow right?

[darkchild16]

journals are great i love mine that would be funny to see smkie i would love to see vic with shiva and kharma
