    yea - course you can - im amazed you like it so much

    i was in an exhibition last year - me & a whole bunch of oiled landscapes - i sprinkeled glitter stars and blossoms all around the prints, and all the kids who came with their parents loved them, thought they were storybook characters - but one oilpaint lady remarked to me 'she supposed what i did could be considered as art...' :D i tried very hard not to laugh at her ;)

    heres some more ... http://www.elfwood.com/art/l/h/lhunter/lhunter.html

    vital - yea pencils are made of a substance called graphite - nice sketching pencils have better quality :p

    and i use corel, not adobe - just used to it i guess

    and im too lazy to do anything with it. which perhaps is why i boot my kids so hard up the bum to develop what they have..

    I know what you mean re; payment in food and drinks - must be a 'country town' thing :rolleyes:

    Does this mean you can't be a starving artist if you living in a country towne? :p

    the quality of graphite in a 2B as opposed to an HB ... 2B is twice as good? :p

    and corel is probably what i need to use.... i have illustrator... but again. the same pen tool sucks!!
  • Lindy.....I finally managed to get onto deviantat.....where do I find your pieces?

    I would've laughed at that woman for sure.
    Some of the shit that I used to sell in the gallery......seriously :eek: my 3 year old could've done it! Thing was these yuppies would come in looking for art and I'm sure they just went for the pieces with the highest price tags - not for what the art was :rolleyes: we had a particular artist, who's pieces were absolute rubbish (IMO) but she'd crap on about how she made all the paints with sap and dirt etc; from the bush.....so the yuppies would think that was pretty special and fork over whatever price she plonked on it. WTF!!!

    Just had a look a both those sites - WOW! :eek: I said it before and I'll say it again - you're a clever chikadee!! Hope you manage to find plenty of time for your gift.....and keep encouaging those clever boys of yours :)
    I can't draw to save my life.....and as for doing it on a computer - forget about it! Our oldest boy is great at drawing......it's good - whenever he's bored and giving me the shits (by annoying his bro and sis), I just suggest he does some drawing for me and know he'll then sit for HOURS just drawing ;)

    Painted sheep skulls! WTF!!!! If it works for her - good on her I guess? As for the 'artist' number plate *coughWANKERcough*

    Well......thanks for sharing Lindy....loved it all.

    PS: can't say exactly what it is that has grabbed me with your 'Porch' pic??? Maybe I just relate to it, living in a small country town.......dunno :p

    Just got off the phone from him he is 99% sure the dates are fine. You planning to come up the Wed or Fri?
    If Friday then I reckon its best you book your flight and Ill book mine and his tomorrow once he has confirmed 100% - hope this aint a hassle
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Dude she just rang me believe it or not (our mate Sheryl) and offered the holiday club shit that Maritime and Glenn got. Its 142 per night instead. Good old Shezza.

    She cant hold it for me any longer (conflicting info from yesterday as I heard the boss in the background saying 'no tentative bookings' - Slut) but no one has tried to book it yet.

    I will endeavor to make sure we book it by tomorrow - just get my slackarsed brother moving
