Mistertinkles u can take a pic and use the attachment button in 'go advanced' and upload a file, that's what I'm doing, if any one knows a better way pls post it.
Well the responds to the tread was unexpected, I was hoping there is more artist on here too share there work.
Aaah heated discussions! Lemme throw some rabbit-like-creature in between :3
I prefer direct art before paintings where I need to find the deeper meaning xD
Also, you can upload your pictures on sites like photobucket.com or if you dont want to make an account you can try tinypic.com. You then just take the link to the picture and add [img]insert link here[/img]
Edit: Ah what, 50 posts until I can post links? That's gonna take some time xD
This drawing dose represent what I felt a while ago, it shows when in a dark place. Where we are forced by other to live a certain way and act. That we have the power to free are selfs with an action, using are voices. I did someone snapping their finger creating a spark that remove the wires that keep use in the dark and shows are through colours.

I studied art many years ago but don't practise any longer althoufgth I still have a deep interest in it in all its forms.
When I studied art there was always an end of term discussion on student's paintings hosted by the Head and a visiting arist. That particular year I was unable to attend but a fellow student wrote to me afterwards:
" I have great news about your painting and I’m really glad that you asked me to take notice of the criticism so that what was said is not lost.
Do you remember the picture of the anemones which Mr Millard spoke of before you left which he considered to have been approached in entirely the wrong way and did not like as a painting. Yours he used as the exact contrast. Where the first tried to record the fact that they were red anemones by filling in the exact shape with the local colour, yours recorded effect and feeling by using overall colour. The result was that yours were not only more sensuous, but also more real and solid. They had been approached freely and were alive while the others were dead. Yours did not say that this is a picture of an onion, a jug, a table etc., but it gave the feeling and your onion could have been handled. The other just said that here are red anemones in a pot and added nothing to this fact. Mr Millard ticked it off for Senior Sketch Club so you are now a senior member.
Mr Julian Trevelyan spoke at the Senior Sketch Club at the end of term. After looking over the wall of paintings, he spoke of yours saying that it was the only one that dealt successfully with colour, both in colour combination and in the way that it had been conceived as a whole in colour. He admired your use of a very limited palette and said of all the paintings yours was the only one had had the courage to limit. He advocated to other people more limited palettes but stressed also the fact that limited colour did not mean dull colour. Yours was not dull, it was very delicately painted. He liked also the way you had dealt with local colour. Yours was the first he picked out for a star, the other he chose were all by very senior members, so you should be very well pleased."
Julian Trevelyan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Trevelyan) worked in Paris alongside such artists as Picasso and Miró and was an artist in his own right so I was not unflattered by his remarks
I was bit obsessed at the time with the colour of onions and before I had submitted that one I had painted another that I am also attaching here.
