Misery, great pics as always! I really like that last one too.

Here's my latest oil painting:

have you notice this is how everyone talks?

hehe you're right.

misery, is that last one a composite? I ask because of that vertical line.

moldyb, I've been staring your painting for the last 15 mins. do you paint with a concrete idea of what's going to come out, like some emotion you want to portray or something and then try to reproduce it? like hidden meanings, I don't know... I'm amazed by how your paintings, despite being so abstract, always make sense to me. They each have like their distinctive moods... it's hard to describe

wow @ moldyb

what is a composite? whatever it may be, I'm sure it isn't just a scanned negative. used a rather old camera.


moldyb, wow, sick shading going on there a lot of depth.
I second philipos question, do you have a special idea in mind when you start painting or do you just start with something and go with the flow?

Ah, . . cool, . . and thanks very much. I usually start with a general idea and along the way, I try to figure out ways to hopefully make it a little more interesting. I DO like the idea of painting emotions and creating moods that are subtle and mysterious. I don't believe there's any kind of hidden message or meaning or anything, . . . but if there IS, it's hidden from me too.

Thanks again and take it easy,

Brian

this is a little something i made last night in a rush, ink,pastels and specks of spraypaint ( edited a little in photoshop for the highlights)

not too bad, but i'm not satisfied with the overall result.. too dirty

A day in a tree.

I had tears in my eyes when I saw the last picture.

very nice textures and toning. I don't think it's too dirty, often, the dirt makes out the character of something, what would be the world without dirt? I like it.




I don't get the joke

oh moldyb, I had read your answer and forgot to say something. You actually reminded me of myself, when I think about how my drawings are never exactly what I expect them to be, and how it's really like a complex relationship between what you want to do, what you can do (skills) and what you actually finish doing, for various reasons one can't ultimately control. This is sometimes frustrating but when it works, it's what makes drawings take on a bit of life of their own, and these are usually the best, because they somehow transcend their creators!

you definitely put a characteristic mood on your paintings and I can perceive it. It is a bit like you said, mysterious and subtle

misery I like your pictures a lot too :wink:
