Hobby

[Maddog]

I am somewhat hesitant to post as I am NOT wanting/fishing for anything from y'all.
My current backlog is out over a year. LOL
But perhaps it will give someone else an inspiration to try something new.

One of my hobbies is acrylic painting. I have been painting for roughly 4 years.
Here is a photo of some of my paintings. I can NOT sketch/draw with a darn.
I have a hard time drawing a stick man. My sister is an accomplished watercolor artist.
I have always admired her work and after having her paint my friend's dog, I thought I would give it a whirl.
I decided on using acrylic paints for the ease of clean up and not using solvents for example in oil painting.

I wish I had started earlier in my life . . .
Sometimes it is fun. Sometimes it is frustrating.
I especially enjoy doing free paintings for my friends.

I have been trying to paint realistically. However, I hope to soon transition to more of an impressionistic style and get more into landscapes.

Happy Paintings!

Yup, this is me also!

Those are awesome. Good for you.

I would think you are very close to being able to monetize your hobby if you aren't already good enough to do so now. Hard to believe that you have only been doing it that short of a time. Very nice.

Nice work dog.

Seems almost too good.

Somebody screwed up by not recognizing your talent when you were young. Multiple people methinks.

Incredible!

20 years ago I paid $200 for a painting of my dog…there is a market for your talent. Good paintings!

 

[Maddog]

Thanks everyone for your kind compliments! It is all much appreciated.

If anyone wants more information on setting up to paint with acrylics, please PM and I will help you out with what works for me.

I get +$250 now for a framed painting of a dog.

How much for a stick-man. LB

 

[NPO_Aaron]

Awesome work! I wish I had creative talent like that. When it comes to “making” art, I am no good!

 

[Vollmer]

Very cool. I have zero artistic ability.
