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. 🙂

So that's going to be my -extremely ambitious- work, if I may also participate in the two week challenge?  Unfortunately we are still flooded in after a week, so I can't get out to get any wall paints at the moment (and can't see me getting very far with my meagre painting supplies in the 'van), so may not be able to get it all finished in two weeks, but could post progress photos?

I think that instead of asking to be part of the 2 week challenge, we can just make it our own project and start whenever we are ready. Would love to see the progress photos, starting with how it looks now. 🙂

Monsters, I'm in the process of transforming my balcony into a grotto (or a womb room).  Candles, beads, pretty things, plants, nice colours ... it's tiny, but it's becoming welcoming 🙂

A 'womb tomb' sounds rather like the girly version of the 'man cave'. 🙂

Would love to see the progress pics, if there are any.

What is the painting about? Looks like twin sumo wrestlers with ponytails climbing out of a hole? 🙂

I like the word used on the photo thread - prompt - rather than challenge.

just sounds less daunting  lol

I am getting somewhat bored with drawing faces(for now), so it's time to have some fun and go way above my rookie skill level. This will be my third drawing, and my first painting(separate from the drawing). I think I might paint this in pastel(another trip to Officeworks), but still undecided. 🙂

Oh yeah, the above piece is called "Creation of Man", by Michelangelo. It is on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome.

Hahahaha, I'm never going to look at it quite the same way again :^O, It's two hearts with wings, there's a fair bit of reflection on it from the flash in that photo. I've never been overly fond of it, but I do like the colours in it. I've grown to like it more over the years probably because it makes other people happy.
