Some know I paint and have asked about my work. I try to use the paintings as my avatars -- here is a pic of the full-sized painting of my current avatar -- it is an oil, 16" x 20" and was one of 44 paintings with aircraft themes selected forthe 2005 Experimental Aircraft Association ("Oshkosh") art show. It was inspired by a picture of my daughter at an airshow in Bowling Green, Kentucky many years ago when I was there -- she is a junior in high school now!


It's called "Maiden Flight"

[sangwitch]

very nice! Do you have a website set up so we can see more? How long have you been painting? Do you work in any other medias besides oil?


water colors perhaps? OilnH20 - is that what your name refers to?

 

[NorthernWinos]

Very nice...let's see more...

Oil, Excellent picture. You have a true talent there....

 

[OilnH2O]

Ahhhh Sang -- I KNEW you were pretty perceptive!


Yes, watercolors too -- and oils. And, the website is "parked" at GoDaddy until I get some time, money or inclination to get it rolling! So nothing right now...


Thanks to all for the kind words. NowI'm not fishing for compliments here, but a couple have asked to see more-- here's another for you, an avatar I used earlier, and it is a watercolor... I'm sure some will recognize it -- Kutya or BMW for sure!

That's a water color? Good Lord... that is absolutely beautiful. That'll bring a tear to your eye.


Is that Granite Peak?

 

[NorthernWinos]

WOW!!!!!!</font> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

 

[grapeman]

That's a beautiful watercolor! It looks so life-like. If I had to guess I would say it represents Bird Falls.

 

[kutya]

I'm no art expert, but I would say this is Glacier Park. Dave that is Excellent......

 

[bmorosco]

You truly are a talented artist....They are very very wonderful Paintings!!!!

 

[masta]

Excellent Work and thanks for sharing!

 

[mjohn]

Very, very cool!!! I wishhadtalent like that. I need help with my stick figures. Can't wait till the website is running.

 

[OilnH2O]

Thanks for all the compliments -- I do appreciate them -- now, if my wine were as good!

And, Rich and Jim, you're right -- it's Bird Woman Falls in Glacier National Park.

 

[sangwitch]

I need to visit Montana and so some hiking!

 

[grapeman]

Dave I have to admit I didn't recognize the falls from the painting since I have never had the pleasure of going there. I liked the painting so much I went to save it to the desktop and it was named birdfalls so.......

Apple, you cheated......
