Experimenting With Oils

I've been trying a looser, more impressionistic way of painting .. a complete change of medium, style and subject :)

    Had to laugh at that :D I'm going to refer you to my website now .. read the first sentence on this page: http://meganburford.com/whats_new.html

    .. and here's me thinking I'd done something that didn't look so photographic :rolleyes: :D

    Oh my goodness, I just looked at your website. That is unbelievable, how do you do it. I wish I could paint like you. In finishing touches I thought that was a photo of you finisihng your painting, but it's not, is it? my goodness, unbelievable. and no training!! geez I wish I could do that. I reckon being an artist would be a dream job, but I'm not good and any paintings I've done that are anywhere near good have taken ages and remain uncompleted :) Good work!

    Thanks pacifier .. glad you like my pics :) I wish everyone had your enthusiasm :D It's a bit scary putting something out that's quite different to what people are expecting so it's good to get a positive reaction.. I'm planning on doing a drummer next (painting one, that is ;))

    All my paintings take longer than they should and I have plenty of uncompleted ones too, so you're not alone :D
    Being an artist is a dream job, you're right .. painting and Pearl Jam all day :D great .. just wish the money was great too!

    yes, it's scary but it is necessary to experiment with different medias. great work, i like both the watercolors and the oil piece.
    i saw your web site and can't wait to see your next piece
    peace!

    on your website, there is an example of you in the middle of finishing one of your works. It's a picture of you, or someone painting a cat, but to my knolegde you are female, so why is it a males arms in the painting

    It was a full moon, what can I say :rolleyes:


    Where does it say it's me?? ;)
    .. you're right, it's a masculine hand.
    It's intended to look more masculine than feminine, a female hand would've made it look a bit like a chocolate box cover .. if you see what I mean :)

    civ-eng-girl is your cat tabby coloured, like Charlie? .. nearly everyone who's told me their cat lies just like Charlie says their cat is tabby too. I'm convinced it's a tabby trait :)

    Wow, awesome. I too visited your website. Your work is truly amazing. You are very talented. It seems we have the same loves. Keep up the good work.

    big thumbs up foxy. Realism; I met an artist called brendan neiland, because of the photorealism quality of your work it reminded me of his stuff. here's a link :

    That is a talent you got, never mind about artistic persuasions!
    Salut baloo
