Steph101 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 My husband did a quick watercolour of our beloved George. (See photobucket link below). He usually does landscapes, and knocked this up in half an hour! What do you think? Steph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That's lovely. How did he get the model to stay still? How big is it? Will you frame it? I am sure there is a market for this kind of painting, and if it only takes half an hour you could be millionaires. It would make a great avatar. You are never going to catch that turkey.

Thank you; he'll be really pleased with your comments. He took a photo first! It's an A4 size. I keep nagging him to do more paintings, and to try to get recognition, but he doesn't think he's good enough, and tears most of them up shortly after they've dried. Weird, eh?

Cooks Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 thought I replied to this once... maybe I posted the reply somewhere else.. I am full of cold this morning so apologies if I have I think it's lovely and he should maybe think about doing commissions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That is gorgeous, he's really captured it well. I think he would get lots of commissions if he were willing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've replied in the other section - you're not going mad Make sure he sees all the replies, he's good and he obvioulsy has a natural talent. He could sell them, really! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 my mum and I have both had watercolour lessons and believe me, it's not easy as you might think! I am very impressed with your husband's work, I doubt I'd ever manage anything that good. I wonder what he could produce given more than half an hour! Just one slight criticism, he needs to rub out his pencil marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 It's a really good picture. I love the facial expression. If it only took him half an hour to produce such a good painting then he could make a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That's good. A nice free use of paint. I also paint chickens, (when I have time) and my avatar is of a painting I did at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Wow, I think that's lovely . He's got a real talent . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 That's brilliant - really captures that beady-eyed 'are you looking at me?' expression. I think he should do a lot more. I'd buy something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millymeerkat Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Wow, thanks everyone! I love painting and drawing and it's great to hear people like what I've done. This morning I have been doing a drawing of my three dogs, two of which have passed away. One of them had to be put to sleep only a couple of weeks ago. It's quite theraputic drawing them as pups and remembering the good times. To everyone who draws and paints themselves, it'd be great to see more work! Thanks again! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
