ArtRage WIP - El Matador

This is the current picture I'm working on. It doesn't look like much, yet, but I hope to have it looking a lot better as things progress. But right now, it's almost 3:30am and I need to go to sleep.

Personally, I think it will be a LONG time before I'm able to get paintings looking even half-way realistic. But it's a goal to aim for. *^-^*

ArtRage - Fire Dancer (abstract)

I love visiting the ArtRage forums - there are so many fantastic artists! Someday I hope my work is even a tenth as good as the masterpieces I've seen posted there.

Today, I visited the abstract thread in the Art Project section and was amazed at some of the work there. I don't consider myself to be an abstract art admirer, but there were plenty of pictures I would love to see hanging on my wall. Wow.

I don't feel (very) guilty about wasting time using this program because

1) It has already proven itself to be a fun and creative pastime and

2) When the kids get home after school, they'll be bugging me to get on the computer. This is ME time right now - time to relax and enjoy myself before having to go back to work tomorrow.

I thought I'd try my hand at one as well. You know, monkey see, monkey do. *^-^*

ArtRage - El Matador (finished)

OMG! I just looked at the clock and it's 6 o'clock! I've been working on this painting since I woke up. Well, it's done now and I need to get laundry, dishes, etc., done.
