quickie life drawing sketch

this is a reworking of a bonnard painting.
it is called "we are ALL from the Garden" and i like it.

this is ten feet long x 6 feet high (3oo cm x 200cm approx) and is for my show in sydney in a few weeks. it is called
ROOM OF MY OWN.

this is a portrait based on a homeless guy.

this is a portrait of an old art collector i know.

this drawing won a pretty cool prize in Sydney. No nepotism. the judges did not know me.

this is called "homage to my mother, with child."

this is a kind of practice work. the stuff i do and do not actually sell but have fun with just to sharpen up at times.

Lots of excellent work to absorb! Wish I could see the large Room of My Own exhibited.

I have lots of time coming up soon to think about that. I don't know whether I've enough depth/soul to be an artist. Maybe I could specialise in android-like art.

thanks outlier.

maybe the android art idea isn't such bad idea.

and for what it is worth, there is a tonne more depth of soul in your drawings than in the work of most artists i run across.
I have wondered about this with autistic people. I think it has to do with our sensory/animal capacity...our hypersensitiivity.
We may be social luddites, but we still feel in our own time and own ways. ANd autistic artists DO have an uncanny knak of being able to translate feeling into their work.

keep drawing. i'd love to see more posted up here.

I love these. Faces. They're what I do most of all. And these two seem to "live".

.

^yes. those two are very good drawings.
i like them a lot ouinon and they exemplify the point i was raising with outlier.
THere is a good "feel" to them. They do live.
We can struggle with real people but we can be uncannily good at capturing and creating our own in our artistic universes that for each of us, are all our own.

awesome



I always tell her that, and I also tell her to marry me, but she won't listen!

thanks computerlove. i am in the middle of a sister painting to this one which i have been working on all today and yesterday.
very good to devote time to special interests. calms me down and re-energizes me so i am almost like a normal person.

yes, outlier should develop her artistic nature and say "to hell with research and academia."

i'll come to the wedding if ever you get hitched.

millie, i like your 'atelier paintings', the 'Bonnard one' and the one you say it's for practise (is it oil paint?)
