Gigge (Jun 23, 2004)

Based on a photo of my cat. Got a little overzealous with the contrast and shading.

Excellent :D I love all the detail in the leaves.. can't wait to see it done

emmamommalag (Jun 23, 2004)

I like this a lot. Nice job on the contrast and shading, Gigge. Pretty cat you have there. :)

Aubrey (Jun 24, 2004)

Very pretty and fluffy cat. I like how half the picture is in the shade and half has all the sun. Good job!

laurael (Jul 1, 2004)

Such a cute cat, this Cleopatra is. She looks very comfortable and content there. The contrast and shadows are done very well...great job. :]

drawn in 20 min

bored.

emmamommalag (Jun 20, 2004)

Very nice, Kasha. Simple lines yet great muscle and skin detail with the shading and coloring.. good job. I like how the watercolor-y background washes over the actual subject. Nice effect. :)

Axil62 (edited Jun 20, 2004)

I would have commented earlier but sometimes I feel like I'm just being redundant because you know how I love your stuff.

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

Interesting look to this one miss Kasha.. He looks a bit effeminate to me because his back has that sort of graceful smoothness a woman might have (well except for the lady welders and high iron workers).

Axil62 (Jun 18, 2004)

The day started out good. My friend came home from Iraq. We drank champagne and smoked cigars. Not much was said about Iraq but we spoke of other things and laughed and enjoyed the morning. The day grew long for him as his internal clock was still set to Iraq time and the mood slowly changed to one of somber thoughts. I took him home and we shook hands and did that half shoulder guy type hug. I came home and felt melancholy and a little sad. I fell asleep and had dreams I can't remember now. So here I am again describing some meaningless image I've wasted more time doing. I don't know if it was a fair description or not and at this point I don't really care. Matt made it home.

phew thanks i was going through symbolism withdrawl. well i would name them all but... there are just so many. so i'll do 3
1) B&W is always a symbol of melancholy, and or depression
2)land with no sun, also pointing toward depression
3) no trees and a bare horizon usually symbol an emptiness or something similar...
well i think i got those right....

Axil62 (Jun 20, 2004)

I think so too. The figure is also almost over the hill and is facing what looks like a marker of some sort. Beyond that the image becomes hazy and uncertain.

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

This is very evocative. It conveys the lonely helplessness of having someone we care about in an uncertain situation we can do nothing to change. This one is very good.

Good story. Good mono.

xwindflyer (Jun 21, 2004)

Dan, these look great! They look like there fresh from the produce stand. Makes me hungry for tomatos stuffed with tuna salad. yum.I love to eat tomatos like i like to eat apples with a little salt.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 21, 2004)

I just had to come back and look at these again. May I please purchase a large oil on canvas of this to hang in my kitchen? I just ate twenty cherry tomatoes for supper. I couldn't hold anything else after that.

shell (Mar 1, 2011)

Are these the horny tomatos you grew in your basement?

Bet you'll reckon it's shit, but I like it...It actually looks like me.

Inspired by my crusty old TV that doesn't get signals proper.

Hmmm, highlights would be interesting actually. I wouldn't have a clue where to put them though. I suppose, obvious places...nose, forehead, but I dunno. Maybe I'll try.

emmamommalag (Jun 20, 2004)

This is neat. I had to get way, way back to see it properly. lol It's a picture of you? You're very pretty! :)

davincipoppalag (Jun 20, 2004)

'Nother cutie! I remember watching everything through lines like these on my old black and white tvs (yes kids..they were once without color). Cool idea Pam

Gigge (Jun 21, 2004)

The lines are a really nice effect, Pam. Looks very pop artish.
