That's a beautiful painting Sleepy. I love it. The drawing is very good and all the elements blend in perfect balance. Looking at it I can feel a sensation of peace and happiness. Great colors ! I wish I could see those birds flying around my house ! ;D

Thanks Kinkcan! As you are such a good artist I always really appreciate your kind comments about my paintings I must admit that the green and yellow swallow is one of my favourite bits of the pianting, glad you like the birdies too! I'll be starting to sketch out a new painting later today.

I finally finished my painting. I can't believe how many hours I've had to put into this, considering how simple the design is. The inspiration behind it is old skool sailor tattoos. I added glitter and little gems to the painting but I don't think they show up too well in the photo (which isn't as good as it would've been if my friend had taken it!) Sorry about the big picture, can't figure out how to resize it Beautiful paining Sleepy! I just love the colors and the fantastic perspective regarding the ship, its sails, its direction, and how the waves are separated by the boats movement! You can just see the sailing ship riding the waves! Also, the banners really add to it! Excellent painting Sleepy!

Thankyou Uncle you're too kind! I was quite pleased with the ship, it took me ages to sketch the sails out just right though! I sketched another drawing out today and will start painting it tommorow, I'll post it when it's finished. Glad you like the banners, I couldn't resist adding in a Kinky reference! Uncle, have you done any more art recently? You contributed a couple of cool pictures to this thread a long time ago.

Thank you for sharing this lovely artwork with us, it really is quite amazing!

So many nice compliments, I'll be getting big headed at this rate! Thankyou Tim, my friend! And you don't need to paint, you paint your pictures with words in a way I never could! If you ever write that book maybe you'll let me design the cover for you? ;D

Well executed painting with vivid colors which I agree with uncle work particularly well in showing the changes in the waves as the ship moves! You should be very proud of yourself my friend!

Thanks so much John! I must admit that I am quite pleased with how this turned out. I'm currently working hard on a painting for my brother - only three more days to finish and still a lot to do!

I finished my brother's painting! I'll give it to him at his birthday party tommorow. (My brother's name is Danny and Mel is his girlfriend.) I also took a photo of it with the other painting I did recently as I think they compliment each other quite nicely - I'll be a little sad to split them up tommorow.
