art thread?

Hi folks. I've just bought a box of coloured pencils, and will be working on my first drawing soon. I'll post the completed work here. Would love people to post their art here for us to see. Doesn't matter what type of art - drawing, painting, photos/photo manipulation, cake decorating, quilting, poetry, origami, whatever. Let's have some fun and show our creativity. 🙂

I liked your self portrait with dog cosmo.  I can see that you knew what you were doing and the dali influence....love it.

This is a cross stitch of my late grandson - I did it from a school photo of him.

if you like murals there are some amazing ones in here, a lot of them show photos of the projects in progress

I always wanted to repaint over it in oils, but never did and never will now. It is what it is...  I actually have a smaller portrait of my son that I started to paint in oils about 6 years ago (maybe more), I always said I'd finish it for his 18th birthday. Considering he's 16 I'm starting to get a bit worried as I haven't touched it since a few months after starting it :^O

Incredible cross stitch work, I can't fathom the amount of detail that must take!

Gill, I sent the picture to a lady who has a program which makes the graph and tells you which DMC threads to use - She was here on ebay but I cant remember who she was.

I think now its pretty easy to find these programs but I havent tried a photo one since.
