Paintings/Drawings I did a long time ago

No scanner so I took pictures instead. It is a moot point whether thats a plus or a minus!:D
These first two are oil crayons/pastel/ pencil done around 8 years ago.
The owl I posted on slleipir`s thread and an ape one.

Chris

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. (yes, I'm old enough to know the references ;) )

Wow, Wow, Wow, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!!

Those are really great! What talent!

Those are really well done. I especially like the Adam Ant one. I can't get over the eighties...:)

Thanks so much everyone, you made me feel good! :) I can go to bed (its 11.15pm here) with a smile:D

Soledad, I used to really like Adam Ant (hence the pictures) went to see him a few times. I like the 80s musically too, Duran Duran, Ultravox, lots of that stuff, the new romantics they called it!:) And later on there was Prince I loved his stuff too, he was dynamite live, and U2 and......on and on it goes. But there again I like music from most eras and lots of types too. I will stop there I think before I start rambling too much!:D

Chris

Neat-o!!! I wish I had such talent. I have some talent, but no where as much as you. :) :D

amazing pics! :) thanks for sharing, do you have any more? :D

Chris - I love the Nu Romantics stuff!! Have you noticed that there's a resurge of it these days?

Wow! Those are so good! Very realistic!! Do you still do it now?? If not, WHY NOT?!

ChrisH,

Excellent drawings. Very impressive, really. Well done. :)

Oh my ChrisH, you are terrific at this. I bet you could sell these on Ebay! Although I don't frequent the place, I suspect you could sell them. The drawings are great! Really!

Make a living at this - really!

:)

Wow, those are really, really good! You have a lot of talent! :)

Thank you all so much:)

slleipnir, no, I haven`t done any for a very long time.

I began drawing and painting at a, how can I describe it, lets just say a painful time in my life - my husband died, had to sell my home, money ran out - and it helped me so much. None of it comes easy or swiftly to me, it took/takes work and concentration, many a time I sat up well into the early hours to finish a piece. Anyway, I got work and somehow the painting and stuff tapered off. Later when I "retired" I did start again, at least did a few, but then I was called upon to take care of my youngest grandaughter during the day for 5 or so years, and that took up a lot of my time and concentration. No excuse for the last couple of years, though it is true that my eyesight has worsened and new eyeglasses are extremely expensive!:)

But you guys have re-awakened my interest and given me new heart, so we`ll see.:)

Thanks again:)

love Chris
