Pictures Taken By you...

[Basil]

Purty day out here in Californy.

These are pretty amazing views Basil. Thanks for sharing.

I love your pictures Basil! The water is my element, as I am a scorpion. But water of the sea or ocean makes my heart beat faster. I just couldn't resist temptation to post my painting here. I painted it after a picture I took somewhere in Malta.
Here it is:

Nice painting, Olga4real. I liked the darkness in the sky and the sharpness of the colors. It made it look like rough weather.

Thank you, Yes, (I prefer to call you Yes, if you don't mind) for nice words. It's too kind of you. This are my first steps in painting acrylic paint, I had tried watercolour, but never tried acrylic or oil paint. I posted it here just because the first picture of Basil seem to reflect the same mood.

Olga, that is just beautiful! I paint a little, too. If I can ever figure out how to post them, I would love to share them. Basil, those pictures are sublimely beautiful. I love the ocean, though I live inland.

Qimmi, it's simple I just scanned it, since the size of the picture allowed it. What kind of paints do you use? Watercolour, acrylic, oil? Honestly, I am better at graphics.

I do watercolors, Olga. Mostly flowers. You are more advanced than I am. I'd like to take a few lessons. Maybe this summer.

I took this while at work. Thought it looked pretty cool.

Interesting image faithosaurus

I like the way you've framed it, with a lot of dark foreground to really set the sky on fire - it looks sort of science fiction too: those lights have a quality like a landing site or secret research laboratory

I like it

Quimi until you find a teacher in Summer I suggest you to watch some videos you can find on the net. Here is some of them I found for you:

I just love watching them, better than a movie. I hope you like them as well.

Thank you, Olga. I've watched the first one already. Actually I have done that, and I have a rally good book, too, that I found.

Here is a favorite painting of mine:

and a watercolor scene. I've gotten paint from this guy's online catalog. They're pretty good.

There's also the matter of talent, Olga. It's entirely possible that you are more talented. Today I painted a scene, very simple of a brick wall, a fence and some trees. I put two pictures together. It turned out pretty well. I'm pleased anyway.

That is a pretty picture, faithosaurus. Did you take that with a camera?

[faithosaurus]

I took it with my phone, haha. I was being naughty and took it on the job.
