Thought I would post some of the first #watercolor paintings I made back in December of 2021. I was frustrated with the rigidness of my collaborative / creative job in Landscape Architecture. I began painting for creative freedom and watercolor helps me lose control. #landscape #florida #landscapearchitecture #perspective #wash #design #amateurartist #mastoart #fediart
Today's #CreatureFeatures lined up features a few #BigApesMovies I have King Kong 1933, 1976 (the creepy Kong & Jeff Bridges face is hairier than Kong's) & 2006 versions (inspired the painting I did below) & Rampage 2018 + sticking with the island theme I also squeezed in from Tubi a couple of old favorites Island of terror 1967 (it's been a while) & Island of Dr Moreau 1977. #MyHorrorfest #CreatureFeatureMovies #HorrorMovies #Horror #KingKong #MadScientist #MovieArt #AmateurArtist
So, after seeing a piece by @NatureMC, I thought of a temporary "collage" I had made from found objects that I had photographed, then enhanced. I finally have a name for this piece: "Fragments".
This morning's #amateurartist #postcard #art: a quick sketch of a vestal virgin from the Roman forum
This is one of my #drawings from many years ago. As you can see, I never actually finished it, but I was still happy with what I had achieved.
I always found #art very therapeutic but haven't had the time to actually draw or paint anything for years and years.
I think it's #time to make time for art again.
playing with a new palette looks more like #art than my drawings/paintings do
Made a #postcard this morning, because I hadn't drawn anything for a while
Oh, I forgot to share my 5X7 shelf art tribute piece for #Candyman that I did in 2022. It was 1 of the 1st pieces I worked on & back when I kept things a little bit more simpler. #AmateurArtist
This evening's quick brush-pen #sketch of Guy De Maupassant on his birthday (1850) came out looking like Stalin, I guess.
TBT my crazypants drawing from 2022, as it's #YSL Yves Saint Laurent's birthday today
Sketch before bedtime, #DianeArbus, DOTD 1971.
I did the eyes last, and gave up. All Micron 01. I oughtta go back to my brush-pen.
Quick brush-pen sketch of #JosephMitchell (BOTD), who came out looking like #SterlingHayden drawn by #BenKatchor, but hey
Quick brush-pen sketch of Robert Graves, BOTD
So far I found 2 inspirations to paint from my #FamilyBonds marathon but I'll wait for a few more ideas before I paint them. I'm currently watching a Christmas story trilogy (only have 2 of the 3 movies but I have the 3rd movie saved on the PVR since Christmas) so I thought I'd share the painting I did for them last year. I don't watch Christmas movies at Christmas time anymore unless the Creature Features, I get too depress otherwise. #AmateurArtist #Art
Sadly yesterday's movies didn't inspire anything but last year today's movies inspired this piece. #Psycho #Horror #AmateurArtist #FamilyBonds #Art
I finished the fourth & last shelf art piece inspired from my Friends/Enemy marathon & another favorite movie & awesome soundtrack Empire records. #AmateurArtist
Finished another one, this one I'm calling It's the weekend! from another favorite film & timely done on a Friday. Actually I love both movies but unfortunately I haven't collected the second one yet. #AmateurArtist
