Nice ones Moonlight. I received a painting of a fergie tractor for xmas. Hopefully looking at it will inspire me to get the brushes out.

All the best for 2014 to all the artists and beginners.   

Yes Soul.....am researching the EASIEST phone/camera to buy....rather my dd is..when she lets me know I'll go buy one.

Thanks pimp! Looking forward to seeing more art from yourself and gill.

Hopefully there will some new artists joining us this year.

If people find the time or inclination (or figure out how to post pics hahaa) to draw/paint something from the photo prompt, I'd love to see the pics.  No pressure  and wouldn't have to be done that week, just having a word as inspiration may be enough to motivate when the get up and go has gone ! lol

Anyway here is my interpetation of "flying"......a BIRD of paradise (still struggling with the w/c's)

Hi soul. I find w/c's quite difficult, which is why I've ever only done one(on proper w/c paper). Right now I am kinda bored with acrylic, so will be focussing on w/c pencils. 🙂

I quite like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7B60nXLsGI

A Moment of Reflection, in keeping with this weeks photo theme.

I admit I did this a few years ago though, but it still fits 🙂

This is the most life-like portrait in this thread, pimp. Good job. 🙂

Does reflection always involve smoking? 

In his case, yes

You've really captured a moment in your painting skwerl, it's fabulous !!

Any luck with a new phone/camera gil?

I did this a few months ago (haven't quite finished it)....suits the "reflection" prompt.

Some of the w/c's I've been "attempting" !!
