thanks bro!! I do feel really inspired the more i paint, i can feel everything becoming more fluid, along with life around me... im going to register for classes at the academy of fine arts here in new orleans, so i can learn more about anatomical proportion and technique with painting and drawing... as i see it i can always get "better", -its endless really and im up for the challenge! thanks again for the good words, it means the world...

here is a pic my first oil!

"Ruin of Ages"
(40X30)

I like all of your pieces, but I really like this one alot. The contrast of everything is just so great. It's like you captured sunset in your hands and splashed it on canvas. You are a great artist, don't ever quit creating.

"And to all we know... may it be the first to go"

is it just the camera or the colours are a bit washed out?

wither-I · Jul 30, 2009, 12:20 PM

are you talking about the background? if so its just multiple layering over a few days, i really like the effect. the oils im using right now are fine quality and have a high sheen from the mmineral spirits within the oils so it has some reflection from the camera, and its fresh paint... but man, it def has to be seen in person, this painting took me about 65 hours and there is some incredible detail in there!

lostpilot · Jul 30, 2009, 12:59 PM

I meant everything else but the background. it just seems washed out

wither-I · Jul 30, 2009, 02:20 PM

haha im still not sure what you mean.. i mean it is washed out literally!! and thanks for the comment defkitty, you may just see that elephant again

thank you thank you! i just sold the new one to a collector for 900 grand so im pretty excited

devilinside · Jul 31, 2009, 04:37 PM

What??? $900,000?? Well shit...thats a little out of my price range. LOL!

lostpilot · Jul 31, 2009, 04:44 PM

I think he meant 900.. cause it would be freaking insane if he sold it for 900 grand

wither-I · Jul 31, 2009, 06:54 PM

i was joking, really

i dont want to sell any of my paintings.
i show you all because i want you to see...

i believe in creating for creation's sake. thats all i can say

devilinside · Jul 31, 2009, 06:58 PM

Yeah...but you should create for my walls sake! I want original paintings. I have original PICTURES (mine of course),but I want a big painting. *sigh* I need to go to an art show.
