Members Artwork

I'll start by sharing this awesome shot from our newest member Vijay.... superb!

Okay, I'll play. This is sweet.

Aww thanx Pat :)

A little sampler from the extremely talented April McNett

And one of my fav's from Bob

Patricia..trying to pick a fav from your extensive portfolio is damn difficult..you have a great eye for the abstract, this one caught my attention!

My new favourite Betty... THE Betty! (Betty Alford)

I love this one Samuel did!

Simply gorgeous work, Kelley! As vibrant and lush as the jungle scenes depicted by Henri Rousseau...but far superior. And the narrative you've written also evokes a sense of mystery about the wondrous strange nature of the world around us. Splendiferous work!

Rona is the very first artist I started following on this site when I joined..(can't tell y'all how pleased I am that she's in the"gang":-)
This image is one of the reasons why!. Fantastic photographer! Superb portfolio! and now..guilty by association..haha!

we all know and love Mario's work because it just pops up everywhere so how can we have this thread without one of his works in here. this one is untitled so i decided to call it Too Much Cuban Coffee or alternatively, One Beer Too Many ...

I totally did not see this thread, must have been to wrapped up in the religion threads. I though I would post a new members work.

one more before bed...

Patrick's fascinating work ...

I love this piece..

Truthfully, it is quite hard to pick a favorite. I admire everyone's work. I am putting one of Bob's up cause it was a long time ago it caught my attention. That's when I first commented. It's still a great piece of work.

we are already 50 n something members in here, lets throw a group contest for fun and giggles Barry !

need some motivation for pic tagging lol

because i agree. it reminds me of The Little Prince ... :)

I goofed, one more time!

I find this a fascinating and beautiful piece Sam!

Oh, thank you, Carolyn! I had forgotten I even had that piece in my gallery, and you've reminded me I want to re-work it. I LOVE this one of yours, because it's so purrrrrdy!!

Carolyn Weltman, The Red Peony Shoe is fabulous.
Your style reminds me of the covers of the New Yorker from years ago. Al Hirschfeld was the illustrator. If you're not familiar with his work, check it out sometime. He inserted his daughter's name (Nina) into every drawing.
My Dad got the New Yorker magazine for years. He would assign me the task of finding Nina in the drawings.

Some highly creative work from Erica

And a stunning shot of a stunning building from the Koehrer-Wagners

Patricia, thank you. Erica, thank you too. i used to go to a restaurant called Alfredos (at rockefeller center) which recently and sadly closed. the walls were covered in Hirschfelds. with Nina's name in them. i'm so honoured you would put me in the same sentence as him.

and thank you too too the Koehrer-Wangners for liking my Sophi. one of the few pieces i drew without a model. i just imagined it from the inside out.

i chose this one of yours Erika because i started to sing along with it. hard choice though ...

This is a wonderful piece from Donna Proctor. These great birds are prevalent in Florida and such a sight to see in person!

Thanks Barry and Carolyn.. much appreciated. I am enjoying looking through these. What a fabulous idea this thread was. It's very hard now to pick one particular picture from anyone. It's going to be very hard as more people join.
Sooo while I am here, I will pick someone's picture and just know you might be next LOL.

I love the bizarre and strange and anything that goes with it... so I picked one of Patrick Anthony Pierson's pictures. I love frogs. I used to catch them when I was a kid. The one with the legs is so funny. Probably why I didn't eat them, they were very human legs. Kinda freaked me out. Great job on the Bullfrog too.
All your pictures are quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Guess I should frequent this group more often. Didn't even know anyone was paying attention. :P I like this one:

Haha..no one pays attention.. on the contrary April.. it's the most active group on the site.. :-) Thank you for sharing my work !

A pat on the back for a pat on the back. I'm all about karma.

this is the place to be, April. a lot of exciting and volatile discussion and great images.

Barry i like the new avatar.

I adore this one from Sydne!

My newest one.

okey dokey Love the color, beautiful.

How do you post your work?

there's a link to the right of the image. highlight it and click on ctrl c then right click and paste in your message box here. hope that makes sense :)

Thank you very much, Erica, for choosing to feature one of my mixed media pieces, The Princess and the Frogs, in this showcase thread.

I would agree with you that it's definitely "...bizarre and strange," and intentionally so. As for the frog our princess has chosen, it's a female changeling (those shapely gams give it away every time!), which means she must continue her quest to find her prince. Or, maybe she's looking for a princess...who knows.

Naturally,after reading Erica's comments about my stuff and why it would likely be 'her cup of tea,' my curiosity was piqued and I just had to go a-browsing through her galleries.

Holy smokin' mackerel! There are over sixteen hundred works of the most beautiful artwork on her site, which meant I was suddenly in the middle of a daunting task: How to find one that spoke to me from among so many.

Here's the one I picked; a gorgeous work of gorgeosity, so compellingly mysterious and carefully nuanced with delicate detail as to seem almost too fragile to look at. I love it!

I have also chosen one of Carolyn's sumptuous oils to feature in this artist's showcase-of-a-thread, this one having so smitten me with it's languid sensuality - almost reminiscent of another of my favorite artists, Lucien Freud - and her choice of fleshy ochres over a blood-red background makes it so hard to stop looking! Also, the self-assured line indicating a steady hand, which is what I love so much about drawing...it would make Degas jealous.

Bravo! Carolyn.

Thank you Carolyn

Robert, if you are still having trouble posting your image. Do what Carolyn said above. You won't see the image after you paste it here until you hit Submit. All you will see is the hypertext. Good luck.

Patrick thanks for such a wonderful write-up. I'm glad you chose one of my pictures, I never know who might like the strange things I put on LOL. Gotta tip-toe through everyone's again, soon as I have a few min. I think everyone here has something different and unique to offer.

Does anyone have some Kleenex? Mario's work of art is dripping down towards my post LOL.

Patrick..your descriptions of other members work are brilliant!

Lisa Kaisers turn... sharing the joys of alcoholism with this fantastic study of light :o)

Patrick, thanks so much for this wonderful comment on my body of a woman. i really appreciate what you've said. especially the bit about freud. i hope you saw that i answered your comment on her too.

Robert are you still having trouble? ctrl c copy image then come over to here and right click in here and you'll see the link. then click submit and it will pop up.

Mario, we can't brown nose if you post your own images. ;) well, we could. but we might not. (i'm teasing!)

This is so wonderful! :-)

I think Alley has some great work going on in her gallery, this one is very creative!

Thank you, Barry.


Sydne, love your appreciation of beautiful women. Everyone should check out your artwork.

Dear Aliceann,

This is so cute!! :-)

Thank you Lisa!

Thank you Kelley. I took delight in finding this on your image gallery. I encompasses so much in a symbolic way that resonates with my world views as well:

Oops, I lost a T...I better chase it down.

Thanks so much Aliceann! :-)
