I drew this from a photo that was digitaly altered. I just wanted to give credit to Thomas Bauer who originaly "drew" this...don't know who he is but thought I better say something.

Inspired by thug's Painted Bunting and the Indigo Lori never posted. (This is the third time I have started this, I've lost two!)

Okay. this is my first real attempt at a portrait with no reference materials.('member, the last started as an abstract)
I think she looks like a Jasmine...hence the title, though I 'spect I'll prolly have to look at something to get more detail in it. Once again, I have to thank Marcello for this site. I'm REALLY liking the style that I've been using so far, and I owe it all to him...lol..and some friends for bugging me to come here, thereby inspiring my interest and creativity again.

so my friend started me on these text adventure games..this is an imagined scene from one called 'alice through the looking glass'.
although ive seen this many times in movies and storybooks of course, this is my own composition and whatnot...ill probably draw more imagined scenes from the same game. yes kids...no pictures! :o

You don't know me.

should have done this before, but just to make sure nobody thinks this is a terrorist or that i am a terrorist sympathizer...this should put the painting into perspective a little bit
this is a quote, an excerpt from an essay by insurgent subcomandante marcos of the Zapatistas released in 94

"The oldest of the old in the Indigenous communities say that there once was a man named Zapata who rose up with his people and sang out, "Land and Freedom!" These old campesinos say that Zapata didn't die, that he must return. These old campesinos also say that the wind and the rain and the sun tell the campesinos when to cultivate the land, when to plant and when to harvest. They say that hope is also planted and harvested. They also say that the wind and the rain and the sun are now saying something different: that with so much poverty, the time has come to harvest rebellion instead of death. That is what the old campesinos say. The powerful don't hear; they can't hear, they are deafened by the brutality that the Empire shouts in their ears. 'Zapata,' insists the wind, the wind from below, our wind."

i made this after my sleezy boyfriend dumped for my best friend because (as he puts it) she has a better social life. I mean what kind of crap is that. i ask you. seriously.i know the art isn't the best but this is the first time with computer art.

umm..its supposed to be mountains..but it looks more like cut out construction paper glued down with white cotton balls glued on top of them

just messing around and here's the result

Welp...don't know what to say.....i tried :) This piece really frustrated me...no more water for a while
