I'm going for a galactic look here Stater, man, holy farking shut the front door. These are all absolutely amazing. I wanted to make it through the whole thread before commenting but couldn't get past page 2. Just amazing. Gang green man is laying down something serious with those landscape pieces too. I have a very artistic family. My grandmother painted and drew stuff so good I thought it was a page out of a magazine but that gene got filtered out when it came to me. My creative expression lies in the garden and rough construction. Seeing the world through artist's eyes must be a very special treat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work a little with watercolor but mostly I use charcoals and pastels. I wish I could move paint around like you can. It’s a total mystery to me and I too am jealous.

Popular Post Beerfish Posted May 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2023 Not art, but this thread seems closet to arts and crafts. I made a flower table. Raw materials, some plywood from last year, some scrap wood from old wood pallets and some plastic coffee canisters. Finished table: Part of the design was to leave a 6 inch border around the edges so you can indeed use it to put coffee cups or drink glasses or a book etc on the table edge if you are sitting next to it in the back yard. Table with flowers, I just put them in so if I get lots of sun and feed the flowers properly I should get a lot more flowers as the summer goes on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found this thread, which is awesome! Love your work which shows your very creative talents and I also admire your freedom in allowing yourself to be so flexible in what you paint. This one sung to me as it reminded me of an Edward Hopper painting with a very clean, orderly feel with great use of light. I recognize all your local Rochester works, even painted once at Corbett's Glen about 15 years back when I did landscapes while learning with different mediums. Settled on still life's of meaningful things in oil which became my favorite, been looking for new inspiration after a long dry spell and here I found it along with many other talented artists who also share my passion for the Jets. Great stuff! Keep it going... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestater Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Been a while since I've posted in here. Had a very busy fall with work but the weather is turning colder and time to start painting again. I recently finished my biggest commission yet and just delivered it yesterday. It's a reproduction of Ms. Keen who hangs above the bar at Keen's Steakhouse in Manhattan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
