Title: Paintings or draawings
Post by: TerryW on March 27, 2010, 02:19:08 AM
On the forum we have poets, song writers, photographers, story tellers, comedians etc, but do we have any artists?

I personally can't draw anything, but there must be someone who has done a drawing or painting of Arillas.

Here is a painting that hangs on the wall at the Horizon.

It would be nice to see some pictures from fellow Arilliacs

Sounds a bit like myself Terry my artistic streak is limited to stick men,after saying that the stickmen painted on the wall in Arillas always intrigue me lol

Sorry, Terry - I'm not artistic.  My dad always used to say "well at least you can draw your wage" - after today I won't be doing that!
I'm sure someone (possibly Phil ???) will make a comment about ..... artist
so I won't!

Used to do a bit of drawing and painting in oils.
Just had a dabble at the paint program on Windows.
Here's my stab at Sara's photo of her view.

I knew there would be an artist somewhere on the forum. How on earth did you do that on Paint, Barry? Its more than a "dabble", its really good.  I love the reflection of the railings and the clouds look almost the same as Sara's photo.

Right we have found an artist, how about a sculptor?

Covered in dust from the loft.

My Kev is a keen artist however it is F1 cars he specialises in. In the past we have taken art materials with us on holiday, as he has always promised to draw/paint "My Beach" but somehow he has never got round to it. We often sit and plan for the time when we  can retire and live in Arillas ,he will have a little art studio and I will potter in the garden ( just a dream I am afraid)
So  in the meantime I hope he gets his act together and paints me that picture and I promise I will share it with you all.

Barry I love your take on Sara's photo. There are elements of David Hockney there, and as for achieving it in MS Paint I am gobsmacked.

I am more into performing art than visual or 3D art, and guess my artistic streak is in music. I play the flute, but these days mostly the treble recorder. I am not David Munro, but have performed with wonderful accompanists on classical guitar and harpsichord. Lovely memories. But these days I think Janis has got it.  p..s artist and Arilliac!

Phil

And it is true - she almost dropped a stitch laughing at your last post Barry. As for speedos, maybe she should present them to our Patrick John?????

Barry I agree with Phil, that painting you did in windows paint is brilliant, I can never seem to do little more that what looks like scribble in paint , it's excellant
