The Oily Rag........Come and Chat September 2011

[!becca]

Sandra, as far as I know, I will say yes right now...depends on Tina. Without her it would be two more.

I was thinking of 3 weeks or so, about the 27th. Is that too soon?

[lovin art]

Yep , I will try for that Becc:D , I need to stop mopping around and get to it really:o ... but thats means, I wont have much time for anything else really ...

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: we can work with a week or two later, don't know if that will help. But then, you know what they say about busy hands and minds.:D

[!becca]

Is the 27th a good target for everyone? We can adjust if necessary.

I am really excited to see what everyone has done.:) :heart:

[lovin art]

Sandra,:heart: we can work with a week or two later, don't know if that will help. But then, you know what they say about busy hands and minds.:D


yep your right Becc, busy hands for sure:grouphug: ...I feel like going and making my own custard , I make it on skim milk , not sickly then :D

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: sounds good.:D

[mtpalms]

... and Marcia:heart: , thats funny Marcia , I see two butts actually chica ...:lol:



And what about the dog on the far left!??!?:eek:

[!becca]

I am truely worn out. See you in the morning.:heart:

[lovin art]

I am truely worn out. See you in the morning.:heart: Night Becc:heart: ..me too :wave:

OMG Marcia :heart: :D you find some funny site girlfriend ....

[shadwell]

If I had to describe myself in one word, it would probably be, "bad at following intstructions".

[lovin art]

Why do you say so Paul, and that's more then one word .... If I had to describe me it would be in a word - indecisive : - )

[ArtyRolina]

Yes, the 27th would be fine by me - I am nearly ready to ship!

[sidbledsoe]

thanks becc, sent pm with info about the box, yes i am ready to ship swaps today!

[!becca]

Thanks, Sid, Rolina and Sandra, we will see how that will work for everyone else.:)

Now that watering has slowed down, I have started taking a quick half mile walk in the mornings out the the middle of the pasture and back. This morning when I turned to make the lap back, there was Toby, moving as quickly as he could to catch up.:cat: So, I picked him up and carried him back home. It added a little weight to my efforts.:D

[sidbledsoe]

they make good paperweights too, unless the get scared and jump away and papers go flying everywhere!

[mtpalms]

One of mine is a paperweight, the other is a perforator.

Good morning everybody!

[!becca]

Sid, none of mine would allow themself to be used for anything productive.:cat: :D

HI Marcia!

[!becca]

I have been getting my packing material ready for our swap.:D

[sidbledsoe]

well i will be busy again today, but i worked on our sandra for a few, here are all of my tools too, my arm is actually sore from burnishing her too! :D :
http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/112587-IMGP2704.JPG

[!becca]

She glows Sid!:clap: Looks like we both did tiny Sandras.:D

[sidbledsoe]

b, how about those eyes, she's got good eye don't she! she is on 11x14 i think that is the biggest paper i have or i would have gone bigger, i should have some 16x20 somewhere, i better go look and see what the hell i do have anyway!
she is still a wip, long ways to go but i will get her done!

[!becca]

Sid, she does have beautiful eyes, and there is not doubt they are the focal point of that photo. 11x14 is a good size for that one, I think....after you finish you need to paint her.:D

[sidbledsoe]

i might paint her too, will see, but it looks like i started the monthly oily rag sandra challenge for september!:D
http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/112587-IMGP2707.JPG

[!becca]

Great eye, Sid!!!:thumbsup: I was thinking the eyes alone would make good eye studies. Yes, it does seem to be the month for Sandra art.:D I may paint her larger one day.

[lovin art]

Now thats one cool looking eye there:D , I am with Becc on this , LIKE WOW:clap: Sid you are making that drawing positively glowing:angel: ...... and small to like Becc wow again!!

you know those eyes are deep and full , very full:o , but Nells are even more so she gets her bestest features off her Mumma:heart: :D

[!becca]

Sandra, you are so right, Nell does look a lot like her Momma!:heart: But, Sid's drawing is actually about 4x bigger than my little painting.:D

[lovin art]

She sure does Becc :D , but shes more beautiful ....I think :heart:

where is everyone:confused: ~Nance , J and Carey ETC all out painting up a storm ...its like 3 in the morn here . i should go back to bed really , but sleeping is a joke atm:rolleyes:

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: I don't know where everyone is.:confused: Nancy should be turning up soon. Maybe Jessica is out for the day(?) Carey too (?) It has become very quiet here.

3 am is pretty early!

I may try to paint a little something soon.:)

[NancyMP]

YES, I WILL BE READY TO SHIP ON THE 27TH!
SHOULD WE SHIP EARLIER FOR OUR OVERSEAS FRIENDS?

Hi, Oily Peeps! :heart: I've sketched out the Sandra challenge on a 18x14 canvas, almost life-sized...I'm really tired of painting small! It's not worth looking at now, so don't ask!:cool:

[CareyG]

Sid, that is going so beautifully! I love that close up shot of the eye. I can really tell it's Sandra just from that!

Marcia :lol: that is truly a ridiculous picture. But then, of course it is, it has a cat in it. :cat:

Rolina, how funny you should go mentioning topics that you can't stand. I recently vowed to myself never to read another post with the word "environment" in its subject. Maybe these topics *should* be able to be discussed with rationally...unfortunately, a lot of people have no sense and love to form opinions that are not actually informed opinions. I really can't stand to listen to people who who have no sense of reality and who glean their opinions from mainstream media.

Ahem, anyway. There are times where it's just not a good idea for me to be browsing the main forum. The one thing I dislike about art is how liberal artists tend to be.

And now I am going to take a nap. :D

~!Carey

[CareyG]

Oh, yes, I can ship on the 27th, no problem. :)

Nancy, that should be impressive!

~!Carey

[!becca]

Nancy and Carey, glad the 27th will work...I suppose we could ship the overseas paintings early if you like...

we will do like we did last time....no one can open a package until the last package is received!:D :heart:

[!becca]

Nancy, 18x24 for that pianting will be beautiful...one day I will do a larger version too.:D I can't wait to see.

Carey, thanks for stopping by, enjoy your nap.:heart:

[lovin art]

OK BY ME Becc!:D

hIA Nance :heart: , sounds like your into it chica:D , cant wait to see your work darling lady....really you all dont know how flattered I am deep down you would want to paint from me .... :o:grouphug:

Hia Carey .... sleep well doll ..:heart: im going back to for sleep if it will come!!:wave:

[lovin art]

hey i like shouting on the oily funny stuff .....:lol:

[!becca]

hey i like shouting on the oily funny stuff .....:lol:

Me too!!!:lol:

Sleep well!:heart:

[NancyMP]

I CAN SHOUT LOUDER THAN ANYBODY HERE!:D:evil:

Sandra's portrait is gonna be fun. A long time ago, I was warned about not ever doing a portrait that was as large or larger than life, so it's not quite as large as a real adult. This is gonna be a joyful experience!

Carey,:heart: speaking of news media saturation, although I remember (as does everyone old enough) the tragedy of ten years ago, but I am heartily sick of the nation-wide wallowing that is going on today! They even got the cartoonists doing it, and they're supposed to be light and funny. What's up with all this latter-day public mourning? I would rather hold it in my heart with my own memories than participate in a public crying fest!

[!becca]

I CAN SHOUT LOUDER THAN ANYBODY HERE!

I believe you.:lol:

You are so right about working just less than life sized...larger tends to take on a less comfortable look.

I started a thread in portraiture that I would love for you and Sid to include your paintings/drawings in.:D

I have always put aside the politics of the day and focused on the importance of our wedding anniversary instead.:heart:

[NancyMP]

Becc,:heart: I'm gonna go look!:D

[!becca]

Here is a serious question for everyone...if we are going to open shipping early for international..do you want to open shipping for all the swaps since we aren't going to open them until everyone has recieved all their packages? Or, do you prefer a set date...the 27th?

[lovin art]

This is gonna be a joyful experience!

Im sure it will be ~you paint beautifully :heart: ... your both right anything over life size is a big task for sure , I guess thats why we stand and marvel at the likes of Sargent etc , who for the life of me blow me away the staggering size those masters worked at:eek: , but then they probably had a barrage of assistants to do all the other mundane crap in life I would rather forget about ...too:rolleyes: :lol:

yeah I agree Nance:thumbsup: , it was a very sad day indeed :( , but life is ment for going on and for living , and like you say hold the memories in ones heart ... :)

Becc:heart: my Kansas girl! Happy Anniversary my darlin ... hope you had a wonderful day:D !!!

:eek: you posted me you lovely dag you didnt have to do that:o , oh Im going to look now !!

[!becca]

Sandra, :heart: thanks for the anniversary wishes.:D It has been a nice day. And, you did deserve your own thread...with all us Oilies painting and drawing you.:grouphug:

[lovin art]

No I dont Becc:o Im embarrased now.... :lol: and you made me cry :crying: in a good way reading what you wrote you dag :heart: , I love ya all heaps your very special too me ......in fact im lost for words thats a first:o

[!becca]

Sandra, don't be embarrased!:grouphug: We all love you too.:heart:...you dag!:lol: :heart:

[lovin art]

cant help it Becc :D , but you are one of the sweetest angels walking this earth , I know that ....:heart: :angel: :heart:

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: now I am embarrassed.:o You would have to work very hard convincing some people around here of that.:D

[stapeliad]

Swaps: this is just my personal pref... we should all ship all of them on the same date, international included. I don't want to go to the PO twice and waiting is part of the fun. The 27th is fine for me.

[lovin art]

Bull :eek: , let me at em.....then !!:D :lol:

Im off to take Nell to school ~and then I will attempt to start some work ...:rolleyes: :crossfingers: :grouphug:

Hiya J .... hope your well chica !:heart: :wave:

[!becca]

Swaps: this is just my personal pref... we should all ship all of them on the same date, international included. I don't want to go to the PO twice and waiting is part of the fun. The 27th is fine for me.

Because I really think our swap date should be unanimous...I agree, Jessica, let's call it the 27th and leave it at that. :thumbsup: :clap: :heart:

[!becca]

Bull , let me at em.....then !!

I may ask for an affidavit from you.:D

[NancyMP]

Yeah, sure, you are all embarrassed and at a loss for words! I can tell!:lol:

Shipping to everyone on the 27th is fine with me!:heart::)

[NancyMP]

Sandra,:heart: I think if John Singer Sargent ever painted larger than life, it must have been for monumental works, because I saw his work in both Gloucester (his hometown), and the Boston museum, and all the humans are painted either life-sized or smaller than life. But he did make some huge paintings incorporating many such figures, and like Sorolla, they are both breathtaking and stunning!:D

[!becca]

Yeah, sure, you are all embarrassed and at a loss for words! I can tell!

:lol:

[!becca]

Shipping to everyone on the 27th is fine with me!


I think we will all be on board with this.:D:heart:

[lovin art]

I may have to ship earlier girls ... not sure ...:D

I am blushhin all the way over here in Oz :o .... you just cant see me :D , in fact just to show you how much of a dag I am:heart: look what I did to me just to prove Im not that wonderful ... I turned myself into Medusa ~Now you can all laugh at me ....

yes I always thought that pic of me was just right for making me into a Mythical goddess ...:D :lol: :lol:


http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/186639-063sandra_2.jpg

[!becca]

Sandra, you are still totally gorgeous, but I will pass painting this one.:D If you need to ship a little earlier, we understand.

[NancyMP]

I may have to ship earlier girls ... not sure ...:D

I am blushhin all the way over here in Oz :o .... you just cant see me :D , in fact just to show you how much of a dag I am:heart: look what I did to me just to prove Im not that wonderful ... I turned myself into Medusa ~Now you can all laugh at me ....

Sandra, :lol:

[lovin art]

Girls :lol: , love ya:heart: ... the dag in me made me do it ....:D

[!becca]

Maybe as funny as Sandra's pic...I am feeling sentimental at the moment...this was me a few years ago...really on my way to a new life.:)

http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/100116-wedding_002copy1copy4.jpg

[lovin art]

awh Becc :heart: :D ,WOW ~ its wonderful to see this, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL and so different as a brunette too :D ...Love your veil too ...:grouphug:

[!becca]

Thanks, Sandra :heart: I have been considering going darker with my hair again...who knows.:D

[lovin art]

your like me ~you can wear both but I think Im more suited to blond for my coloring, but being brunette would be nce for a change too :D

[!becca]

I'm like you..very fair skin and green eyes. I was very light blond all my childhood. But blond or brunette, there have always been reddish undertones.

[lovin art]

yep , same here Becc ... , well you are goregeous either way ....

I need to go start this underpainting ...

[NancyMP]

Becca,:heart: you were a beautiful bride! It's not the warm brown hair that startled me - but the curls! Are you really that naturally curly or is that a permanent wave? I fight with my fine straight hair non-stop!

I just finished my charcoal sketch of Sandra to my satisfaction, should I post it or wait tor paint, which I'm just getting into?

[sidbledsoe]

http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/100116-wedding_002copy1copy4.jpg
this one goes in the bank, will just have to deal with it later!:lol: :clap:

[CareyG]

Ohhhhh! Wedding picture!! Becca, you are beautiful! That is so wonderful. Gorgeous veil, dress, and flowers. (I really wanted stephanotis in mine, unfortunately the crop froze.) Happy anniversary!

Sandra, :lol: :lol: I really thought those were swans, not snakes. :D (I think swans suit you better, anyway.)

As for the swap, I don't necessarily care if we don't all ship at the same time, but...it does add a bit of excitement if we do. It's really fun to see how long it takes to get to everyone.

~!Carey

[sidbledsoe]

meanwhile it's all about sandra! :
http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/112587-IMGP2708.JPG
the only part all done right now is her eyes.
sandra, i have known some medusas, (some very well or maybe a little too well :o )
but it just ain't workin' fer you though! :D

[CareyG]

Wow, Sid, that is great!

~!Carey

[NancyMP]

Sid, it so smart of you to draw a complete drawing instead of heading into paint like I did! It's lookin super!:D

Becca, since you invited us, I went ahead and posted my start on Sandra on your thread in Portraiture. Painting larger took up all my premixed flesh tones, so instead of mixing up more I decided to wait until I have better light tomorrow. Also, I spilled my jar of OMS and got a dab of flesh paint on my fave jeans!!! :eek: So I need to go clean stuff up now...

[lovin art]

Ha ~~~Carey :heart: , you sweet thing "" Swans "", you cracked:lol: me up reading that chica .smooches to you darling girl...


tthe only part all done right now is her eyes.
sandra, i have known some medusas, (some very well or maybe a little too well )
but it just ain't workin' fer you though!



And those sure are my eyes Sidney ..... beautiful work oily boy !!!:clap: :D
Awh dont you think I can pull of the snake look :lol: ....Sid thankyou for seeing the real me underneath all that:heart: ...just a plain seaside beach girl is me ....:wave:

[!becca]

Thank you for my wedding complements, you are all the kindest ever.:heart: Nancy the curls are the perm kind. :D

I am so glad you posted in the thread, i am going to look.:D

Carey, so sorry about your flowers, bet they were gorgeous anyway:heart:, and thanks for your thoughts on the swap date...

I guess we are all looking at the 27th for shipping then.:heart: :D

[lovin art]

Do any of you think this grubby food munchin toddler looks anything like her Grannie:D :heart:



http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/11-Sep-2011/186639-002.JPG

[!becca]

Yes, Sandra, I think she does.:D And to me in some pics it is so obvious.:heart:

[!becca]

Sid, I am still catching up, your drawing is looking grand!!:clap: When you feel you are ready, post it in our Ozzie Girl thread in portraiture.:heart:

[lovin art]

Yes, Sandra, I think she does.:D And to me in some pics it is so obvious.:heart:

Me too Becc , shes so dam sweet ...look at those big eyes ... Im going to miss her something fierce:o , I just rang my Aunty and Uncle~they cant wait for me to come down , I ship out on the 1st and start on the 3rd next month ......:crossfingers: :thumbsup: no going back now ....:)

[!becca]

Sandra, I think I see all your features there.:D:heart:

I ship out on the 1st and start on the 3rd next month
I can imagine how excited you must be, and nervous and sentimental too.:heart: It really will be such an adventure, but I know too you will miss your family while you are away.:grouphug:

[lovin art]

Yep Its that Becc big time :o , I know its not like Im not going to be with people who dont love and think the world of me but , yeah well you know what I mean , and I should stop being such a sook about it ...sorry guys !!:o :)

[!becca]

Sandra, I don't blame you at all...:grouphug: I can't send you enough hugs.:heart: I am looking forward to hearing all about it...and seeing your new work too.:D

[NancyMP]

Sandra,:heart: it is both sad:( and happy:D that you're going away, girlfriend, but I think you will be glad you went when you find how much the atelier can teach you! I would switch places with you with pleasure! (But then my family is already a thousand or more miles away, and I can't see them often).

Lexie does look a lot like you, the little darlin :heart: - those eyes! - and she will be so tickled to see you when you come back on weekends!

Lots of warm hugs coming your way, chica!:grouphug:

[lovin art]

Becc:heart: , for sure Im going to share it , you all cant get rid of me that easy~ sorry , i will inflick it on you for sure

oh My gosh Nance:heart: :o thats one beautiful work your pumping out there:clap: :clap: :clap: ... yikes ....

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: You have so many of us with you in our hearts.:heart::D Like nancy, I would love such an opportunity too.

Remember my eye problems last week? Well, I quit taking my eye supplements and not only has my morning anxiety improved, my eye irritation is better.:confused: In a few days I may try them again just to be certain that is why.

[NancyMP]

Thank you, Sandicat! :angel: What great praise coming from such an accomplished artist!:D You think you might be a little biased?:lol::heart:

Becca,:heart: that is a good test, and it makes me think that there is something bad for you in those drops. Do they dry your eyes out? If the doctor says you should keep taking them after you've checked out the drops and you know it's them, he may just advise wetting solution for your eyes.:(:o

[!becca]

Nancy,:heart: I take them orally, to help with a little degeneration, but maybe I have taken them long enough that I don't need them any more....:D

[!becca]

Nancy, you spilled your OMS, I managed to get cad red on my new jeans the other day.:eek: Only a little though, and I have had pretty good luck with it lifting in the laundry.

[NancyMP]

It must be something like a steroid then... that's the only thing I take that I have to be very careful about, prednisone, 'cause it can make bad things as well as good things to happen to my bod!

[!becca]

It actually is huge doses of many nutrients, especially a few flavoniods that have showed promise with eye issues like this. But for some reason I noticed immediately they made me feel differently...but then they are in huge doses, who knows what else they can impact besides the eyes.

[NancyMP]

Becca, as soon as you finish the testing, you need to tell your doctor that you're not taking them anymore, and why. It sounds like it could be pretty risky for you.

By the way, I'm taking your advice on the Reubens, and will saute them in olive oil - we went to a restaurant that serves a wonderfully rosemary flavored bread, and they put out a small plate of olive oil and vinegar for dipping it. Yummy!

[lovin art]

Nance:heart: Im very bias I guess where you are all concered ... but I would never lie either ....no need to:) ... it really is a beauty you are turning out ... chica :heart: :grouphug:

Becc :heart: you are all in my Ozzie heart too:o , your all to wonderful to this dag ...

I got go get Nell ... if your not around my Lovelies:heart: , well good night , Nance:heart: :( Im sorry you spilt you oms , hope everything is ok darling :crossfingers: ....

[NancyMP]

Yep, sweet Sandra, I got everything cleaned up and poured some new OMS - at least my pimiento jar didn't break! Thank you so much for being your wonderful self, you make me feel good about things, and so do you, too, Becca!:heart::heart:

Well, it is midnight, and I have a big day tomorrow, so I'm saying good night, dear friends, and hope I can get a good sleep! I so enjoy chatting with you!

:heart::grouphug::heart:

[!becca]

Nancy, I will mention it to the eye dr. I am seriously thinking that they may have sucessfully reversed things by now.:D

By the way, I'm taking your advice on the Reubens, and will saute them in olive oil :thumbsup :heart: :D

See you later Sandra.

Night Nancy, :grouphug: I am going to make my studio visit and get a list down for tomorrow...somethings I need to remind myself to do.:lol:

[lovin art]

Nance:heart: , I think we all feel that good about eachother :D ... well you all make me feel loved ...I was looking at your work Nance , I ment to say too how stunning you got my eyes chica :wink2: , I think you will put me off the map for my known eyes with such Lovelyness!!!

Becc:heart: Im sorry about the supplements , but glad you are going off them if they arent helping :D ...Im looking online at art books , dam Like I need to do that hey ...but I do need to buy some art stuff for school and I got to get my panels ready to take away to school too:rolleyes: there never seems enough hours in the day really

while Im away , Im going to ask my aunty and Unc for some pics of them to draw from when they were younger , she was beautiful , and he was a Navy Boy !!! :D

ok catch you loves later

[Freesail]

By the way, I'm taking your advice on the Reubens, and will saute them in olive oil - we went to a restaurant that serves a wonderfully rosemary flavored bread, and they put out a small plate of olive oil and vinegar for dipping it. Yummy!

Many years ago when I first moved to Southern New Jersey, I found it a odd but pleasant custom that all the Italian restaurants here when they served Italian bread, they served it along with fragrant extra virgin olive oil, spiced with garlic, basal, oregano, among others spices for dipping. It was very easy custom to get use to

[mke112]

I've started a series of fantasy landscapes. This is my 3rd. Quite a ways to go. Oil on canvas 16x20.http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/12-Sep-2011/217308-P1030275.JPG

[!becca]

Sandra,:heart: I don't think the supplements aren't helping, but they seem to have a few side effects, hopefully they have already done what they were meant to do...so true about not enough hours in the day.:eek: We only can do what we can.

Paul, sounds delicious and a little fattening.

[sidbledsoe]

becc, i will post my sandra dee drawing there when it is done, i can only do a little at a time, thanks carey, sandra, nancy, becca for nice comments.

[sidbledsoe]

Wow, Sid, that is great!

[!becca]

OK, Sid, but your wip is welcome too. You are at a good place with it already.:)

I need to get decent as I am expecting our crop insurance adjuster to drop by today.

[sidbledsoe]

Yes, Sandra, I know that thyroid can be a mysery.:grouphug: I did have my regular doc look at the supplements and he couldn't see anything that should cause issues, but then I do know too that there is much we don't know yet about the very high doses of some.

Sid.:lol:

Nance:heart: :D you would love the other one she did of me its a reclining one very beautiful on oils:thumbsup:

[NancyMP]

Sandra, some of the favorite nudes I've done have been reclining ones. I would love to see it!:)

Becca, I've been trying to get my morning chores done: laundry, phone calls, budget work...my target is noon for getting a new batch of paint ready. I've been working the portrait with a new medium I made, which I love! It's approximately 1 part Walnut Oil to two parts Copal. Or thereabouts.:o

[!becca]

Sandra, yes, I am certain it is beautiful.

Nancy, I have a little copal I am going to experiment with more one day...I have just been so happy with what I am using I haven't strayed.:D

[!becca]

This morning.:D

Quiet afternoon.:confused:

This upcoming Saturday, the 17th is our next Spirit Day.:D

I heard from Tina and she should be visiting the Oily Rag soon.:)

Rolina, I hope both you and Tina are ok with the storms coming into the UK.

Carey,:heart: I have been thinking of you and wondering if you have completed your torrit painting yet...Maybe two.:D

Jessica, I am missing you here.:heart:

Nancy, hope you are pianting now.:D

Sandra, you too.:D

Sid, I bet you are around somewhere.:D

[Dana Design]

Becca, Sid's around...stirring the pot as usual. :evil:

[mtpalms]

Quiet afternoon.:confused:
I just finished lunch here in CA, so my afternoon is just starting. I spent the morning with a neighbor, who came out of the hospital the other day to spend her last month in her own home, while her sister took care of some things in town.

[sidbledsoe]

I just got back from working hard and my whereabouts have been in question!
Don't worry i won't offend, there is no painting of me, just a pic or two back when i was younger and into bodybuilding.

[!becca]

Marcia, so sorry about your neighbor, but nice of you to sit with her.:heart:

Sid, what pics!:confused: And, by the way, we have all been working hard.:wink2:

[stapeliad]

i am working hard!

[stapeliad]

There was a guy walking around Times Square this afternoon...big dude, bodybuilder...the guy's muscles looked like they were photoshopped but it was the real deal...he was totally showing off too, walking, no, strutting around with no shirt on, all oiled up... :lol:

[CareyG]

Hi all...oh, I see some...interesting things have been going on today. :D

I have been catching up on a few things that have been needing to be done for a long time now. It's refreshing in its way, at least.

Becca, I'd better get busy on that torrit painting! The canvas is just covered, lots of work to do on it. I've got to make some time this week to work on it...I wanted to over the weekend, but didn't have the energy.

~!Carey

[!becca]

strutting around with no shirt on, all oiled up
:lol:

[!becca]

Carey, I bet it is amazing already...but yes, do make some time for it! I do understand about being to tired at times though.:grouphug:

Carey, I sent you an email..THANK YOU FOR THE BOX!! :heart: :clap:

[stapeliad]

Becc I was just thinking...I am sending your dvd back separate from the swap so you can open the package.

[!becca]

Jessica, you can do it either way...I can wait to open it. :heart:

[NancyMP]

strutting around with no shirt on, all oiled up

Now if a woman did that in Times Square, she would be arrested for indecent exposure! They were a lot less fussy about such things (http://laracorsets.com/images/Fashion_History_Images/1801_386.jpg) in the early 19th century.:)

[!becca]

Nancy, I read recently that topless for women is ok in NYC.:D That beautiful gown in a little low cut...

I'm on channel z......................................

[!becca]

I'm on channel z......................................

I'm on channel z..I am so tired from such a busy day, in which I really have very little done.

[mtpalms]

Paul and Carey, both shows sound like a blast!

[lovin art]

Im on channel fazed... got something to get off my chest , and no its not clothes ,

why is it when I came to do some work that I know I must complete , I freeze up and I seem to be stalling on it , I dont think Ill ever make a huge living at doing commision work to honest

[!becca]

Sandra, I am the same way..even with work I choose to do. The mood and timng need to be right for me.

This year at the state fair there has been much fuss about a speed artist that paints giant pop art paintings in under 5 minutes. But he only does 5 faces in his portfolio and each time they are the same. I don't know that this is really art...but the local media is dazzled.

[lovin art]

I don't know that this is really art...but the local media is dazzled.

yeah I dont think personally it is real art in my book :rolleyes: , not that my book counts... but theres more to a portrait for me then just whipping it up in a flash Im afraid so much to consider really

heres a start ~ Im calling this Contemplation sofar---...... dont shoot the messagener ...:lol:


http://www.wetcanvas.com/Community/images/12-Sep-2011/186639-001.JPG

[NancyMP]

Becca, sometimes (having worked at a newspaper) I wonder about local media - their brains and their taste!:eek: We have a Food Dude here who is always writing about this wonderful restaurant or another. I've been to most of them, and I would rather have stayed home and cooked!:rolleyes:

Jessica, it's all your fault that I took a look here and it had advanced four pages ...and now you're conked out? You can start a gabfest at the drop of a hat!:lol:

Carey, that should be a great show! Here at Tinker AFB, we have a whole assortment of old planes, including a couple of Air Force Ones - I know that the one Eisenhower used is there!:smug:

Paul, that was great music! I like him, very creative guy! And try not to get your camera confiscated!:music::music::music:

I'm taking a break from painting to fix some dinner, and thought I would pop in.

One last thought: I don't mind Glory sleeping on the back of my chair when I paint, but when I'm sitting down to do details, why does she have to fall over into my lap?!! This cat really zonks out!:cat:

[!becca]

Sandra.:heart: at least you are attempting to look forward. I have spent much of the past few days looking back, and I am not that pleased with what I am seeing.

[!becca]

This cat really zonks outShe is exhausted from all the work she has done painting with you to that point.:cat:

[NancyMP]

Sandra, that looks like a very difficult piece of work to do!:lol:

[lovin art]

Oh Becc:heart: , Hope your not talking that lovely work you did of me chica ...:D

[stapeliad]

Hey Sandra you have a great start there! :D :thumbsup:

MY SWAPS ARE DONE. They all came out great. Well, one of them I am not sure is exactly successful as a painting but it has an undeniable "cool factor". Well, i think so anyhow, although this is just the opinion of someone who wears leopard print so take that for what it is worth! :lol:

Well anyhow they are all a little different but I hope you like them. :D

[lovin art]

Thanks Jess:heart: , Im glad to hear it , and your paintings will rock chica:heart: cool for sure !!

:D :lol: I'm so glad you liked the package, Jessica. :D I was afraid that the rice paper would be terribly dinged up, but it seems to have come through all right.

Nancy (and Becca :)), thank you. :heart: You are so sweet. I just had a look at your painting--it looks wonderful! What a lovely touch with the ocean. The colors are great and really set it off, I also really like where you placed the horizon line, it's perfect. You are terrific with skin tones, Nancy. The features are just beautiful, too.

~!Carey

[CareyG]

And oh yes, Sandra, great start!!

Jessica, that is such a cute color chart! :D Really nice color mixes.

~!Carey

[stapeliad]

Hi Carey! :wave: yes I LOVE the package! :heart:
Where did the little tree come from?

I must have missed some paintings.

[CareyG]

I must have missed some paintings.
Becca has a thread in Portraiture (http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=948021) where Nancy also posted her painting.

I found the little tree amongst an odd assortment of little plastic toys and I knew you must have it. :D

~!Carey

[stapeliad]

You were right! :D It is very "me".
I'll go check out the paintings.

You have me on a B-52s streak, I have been listening to them all evening! :p

[CareyG]

:p I don't even have to listen to them to get them stuck in my head.

I made a quiche the other day. You can guess what popped into my head. :p

~!Carey

[stapeliad]

:lol: :D

[NancyMP]

What movie was that, Sandra? :confused: Is consumption another word for tuberculosis?:(

I hear you fine, you Dagg!:heart: Inaudible!!!:lol:

[NancyMP]

Carey,:heart: thank you so very much, and it's so nice for you to say these kind things!:) But I'm still much in the learning process! My ocean, I think, is too blue - I need to get some dullness into it,,, and waves I'm going to have to research the wave action, too.

I should be back at the beach, painting from life!:D

[NancyMP]

Jessica,:heart: your paintings are much desired here! Whether rocking:clap: or wild, I will so enjoy getting a genuine Jess creation!:smug:

[!becca]

Well, I just remembered that tonight is the "harvest moon" .:D The night the moon appears the largest in the sky.

[stapeliad]

No I think it was the tea.... I passed my evening caffeine limit. :o

[!becca]

My neighbor isn't playing lullaby music...egads, I live a half mile away and can still hear their radio (I think it is a radio). It is on early in the mornings too..like at daybreak. I do hope it stops working one day as it is an unpleasant distraction.

Jessica, for the past 20 minutes I have been trying to remember something I wanted to tell you, but it is lost for the time....there was a spark of memory at one point, but it wouldn't surface.:o When it comes to me, i am just going to post it at random.:lol:

Carey, I did think of you when I was painting my fair plein air the other day...you would really excell because you could just paint the horses...from memory!:heart: Next year I will try to paint animals, they won't hold still, but if I prepare it should work out.:D If I had all the time I wanted, i would make a trip there and do some practice painting this week.
I want to know how much I laughed to myself about my b-52 misthought.:o Some days.:lol:
