Hi Itchy, Iv'e just watched your gallery at "The Art of Richard Clarke" (who I now guess is you) and enjoyed every piece there.
I loved the Wombah Station, Liverpook creek and also the small falls. :)

Painted Face

bette_davis_eyes (Jan 4, 2009)

Painted Face

Grin
they said,
demanding
I hide feelings,
and show the false me.
Put on that happy face.
Repress the sadness and hurt,
for no one likes the lonely child;
or so they told me and I believed.
Swallow all that you know about yourself,
and lose your precious identity too.
So I painted my lips big and bright,
for all to see the cheerful me;
my soul sinister with time.
Now grown and on my own,
I fear being lost.
I am consumed,
but the paint
does come
off.

handprints on the mirror

lori (Jul 22, 2010)

my son said when he got out of the shower there were handprints on the mirrors..... I don't know to this day if he made it up just to freak me out- he swears he didn't do it and the handprints were bigger than his hands.......... I wish this looked more like an actual foggy mirror

I think her son was just shitting with her, you say his hands aren't that big but all you have to do is drag your hand up to make is appear like they're larger.

lori (edited Aug 2, 2010)

yeah I'm pretty sure too... it's still freaky enough that he would even do that : / your brother sounds like an idiot... don't know what you meant by your double post about cyclops and I don't really care

boy if i had a nickel everytime my husband said that 'i'll fix it tomorrow' thing... hmmmm some of the things i can think of were 19 years and 362 days ago, and they still aren't fixed. =D

i like this painting because it depicts that they are comfortable being 'together', while they aren't actually interacting and they are each in separate planes of thought, they remain as 'companions', and still comforted by the other's presence. I hope that makes sense... it does to me. =]

StrawberryPaintbrush (May 31, 2007)

A lot of people interpret Hopper's paintings differently and I read an interesting article about the various interpretations of just one piece. I usually get a depressing and very lonely feeling when I look at his work, as if the subjects are deliberately ignoring eachother as if to make a point. But I can also see what you mean DBA, that they look content with eachother without acknowledging one another.

Aakyra (edited Jul 31, 2010)

I totally agree with Strawberry Paintbrush ... I see a lost connection in this. Actually, it's the woman's left arm and hand that makes me feel as though she has given up on trying to reestablish a connection... feeling like it is just no use any longer. So, I feel the art evokes emotion and thought but not necessarily the emotion and thought that would draw me to a work of art. However, this is a beautiful rendition!

amazing

Teapot (Jul 3, 2010)

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. Now I want to get a big palette knife and some thick paint and make a picture with textures so thick you could trip over the strokes.

thank you all for nice comments :) I'm new here so if someone would be so nice and explain me how to use layers. I would appreciate it :)

Kanuto (Jul 2, 2010)

Nice drawing :)
I normally use lascaux, but using layers should be the same as in most programs. Check these tutos:
