I have been an amatuer artist for some years now but have never really felt confident enough to show my work in public.

So, I thought, as a start, I could post some of my pieces on here to gauge a reaction.

Below is an earlier one of my pieces, simply entitled 'Tranquility'.
I was inspired to paint this scene when I was out with the dog one afternoon.

Please feel free to critique my work, or even add some of your own.

That's good, that's a start.

It's supposed to be new-wave minimalistic.

Careful, you'll probably win the Turner with that

It is tranquil, though. Sort of a light grey like the walls in an asylum.

I can't see it - just some blue vertical lines. Nothing when I click on the little cross thingy either. Help please.

I'm on it!

Click THIS Maggie

Oooo err missus. It says I'm forbidden to access it. Do you have some special power? Impressed I am

Hmmm. I think it definately portrays the juxtaposition between society and moral obligation.

Barney_Rubble · « **Reply #11 on:** October 7, 2004, 12:39:23 PM »

Why don't I just attach it...

OK if you say so

I thought it quite nice and cheeky myself. And No. I have no intention of explaining what I mean.

Admiral Ackbar · « **Reply #13 on:** October 7, 2004, 12:41:28 PM »

Aaaargh! What's going on? It's dissapeared from my imagestation account, but reappered on here??? I'm not very good with theses new fangled PCs.

Anyhoo, here's 'Pets', it's a portrait of my cat and dog. One of my finest pieces if I do say so myself.

I do have one other, but it's a nude, not sure if that's a bit too taboo for these boards?

Sorry Barney, I know you're only trying to help, but you're wasting your time, Hicks has the technical knowledge of George W. Bush.

the vivid colours and ethinicity shown verify the viewers need to seek metaphorical release from the scene portrayed

Hearing that kind of art yak was what made me 'up me brushes' and head for pastures new.

One thing i cannot stomach is art yak, and if i'm anything to go by then the world is losing out on young artists coming through because of this bullshit putting them off.

I'm flattered! They're not that good though.
Can you see any at all? They're all showing on my BBC Master.

Drobs · « **Reply #25 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:00:05 PM »

I see nothing but red crosses meaning the images havent been attached correctly or are too big. Are there actually any pics or am i falling into one of these fecking trick pot holes?

I shall not be amused if its the latter.

I take it you wouldn't like to view any more of my work then?

You asked for it.

Note the use of the top hat, I think it says something about the evolution of humanity, even in these uncertain times.

Smiffy · « **Reply #34 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:16:17 PM »

Great attachment of the picture once more Hicks.

Admiral Ackbar · « **Reply #35 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:19:39 PM »

Can you not see it?

I'm sorry, all this technical mumbo-jumbo is to much for me, I am just an artist trying to express myself through the medium of Paintshop.

Perhaps my assistant, Mr B.Rubble would help out once more?

Breathtaking statements you're making there Hicksy (for indeed I think you need an agent to re-brand you with a "street" tag like Hicksy) .

It's talking to me deeply about the fragmentation of our modern world.

Here we all our in our own little worlds ...

...it's almost as though we're moving in entirely different directions ... at entirely different speeds ..

Maggie May · « **Reply #37 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:24:43 PM »

A stirring piece. Its just so.... so .... profound. And the camel's humps - evocative and yet not. I'm lost in admiration.

Admiral Ackbar · « **Reply #38 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:29:16 PM »

Indeed, indeed *scratching chin*. Don't you think the sparse use of shading makes the piece somehow more, mmm I don't know, invigorating?

Drobs · « **Reply #39 on:** October 7, 2004, 03:32:43 PM »

I would like to declare.......i did not much like my time spent as a trout.
