that's my yard.

I'll see you in court, fingerpainter.

[C&CDean]

Well done Matthew.

I especially like the trees. They add to it. Is this the first time you've included a little landscape in one of your paintings?

[proud gonzo]

the blue glow is really wonderful--especially how you carried it onto his face and neck, and then the shadows on his arms

another awesome one, man

Thomas Kincaide has some serious competition for that "painter of light" moniker of his.

"Drums in the Valley." 60" x 48".


Ok, so that's Elmer Fudd on the left, and Geronimo on the right, but who's the dude in the middle? Or is that Drum?

[Partial Qualifier]

the shadowing on his face is really awesome. Nice job.

Napoleon Runs With Deer.

Try and keep up.

[OU4LIFE]

I'm tryin man, but he cranks those copies out too fast for me to keep up.

[1stTimeCaller]

Is that a Native American shocker that he has on his vest?

[KC//CRIMSON]

I suddenly have the urge to go rent "The Last Of The Mohicans":D

Good jorb, you.

[OCUDad]

That's not a very good likeness of Mr. T.

[picasso]

hmmmm ok. you can't SEE the drums, you hear them. perhaps I should call it Songs in the Valley.:cool:

[Frozen Sooner]

Nice job. What's the chance of getting a signed print?

[PhxSooner]

Awesome job.

[picasso]

100% if I get any made.:D

[Frozen Sooner]

100% if I get any made.:D

Well, as it happens I really like that one and it matches the living room really well.

Let me know if you're going to make prints-how much do you normally sell for?

[picasso]

depends. I haven't gone the limited edition route in quite a while. those would be cheaper than a giclee. I'll keep ya posted.

[Frozen Sooner]

What's a giclee?

Please don't get this thread deleted...

[picasso]

single prints. technology is catching up with the fine printing world. these days we can get our work scanned into a computer and printed onto just about anything, including canvas up to just about any size. it's pretty cool but it also costs some serious jack for the scanning.

[OU4LIFE]

I want a free one.

[sanantoniosooner]

pic, we got a new painter over on the football board.

Your services really aren't needed anymore.

[Howzit]

Very nice, Matt.

You should think about including more monkeys in your paintings.

[sanantoniosooner]

Very nice, Matt.

You should think about includn
Are you drunk?

[Howzit]

Are you drunk?

Huh?

[MamaMia]

Thats very lovely. :)

[Howzit]

Thats very lovely. :)

Just think about how lovely it would be with freakin' MONKEYS!!!

[picasso]

yeah I saw the new guy on the football board. he's got some talent.

Howzie and his monkey fetish. sad and distrurbing.

[OU4LIFE]

Unfortunately I am a caveman, and have no artistic talent OR vision. I have no idea how to consider what is really good, from just stuff thrown on a canvas.

I did dig the Monet exhibit I saw in Vegas a few years ago.....but most stuff, to me it just all sort of looks the same. I'm impressed by all of it. People that can turn that stuff in their heads into something on canvas have a talent I just don't understand. I dig pics stuff, I just don't understand how he does it. He must have sacrificed his golf talent for paint talent.

[picasso]

it's elfin magic. ask Howzie.

I was on an acid trip when I wrote that. it was mostly stuff that I went through in the Coast Guard.

don't judge. do not judge.

this is your way of saying its ok to like the dogs playing poker isnt it?

i have the same feelings when i go to an art museum

i always look at the piet mondrian paintings and wonder how he pulled that off...

[picasso]

sorry man but trippin on acid and recalling those horrifying days at sea having to share our eating and bathroom quarters with the likes of Mike the Nose and Ernie "wet sack lunch" Dombrowski is nothing compared to having monkey orgies.

[C&CDean]

You guys are better than me, cause I don't/won't even go in an art museum. 90% of that **** they've got hanging on the wall simply ain't art. To me. If I've seen it on a finger painting by one of my kids when he was 4, it really ain't art. And a whole lot of that crapola in the museum ain't even as good as my kid's painting. If the painting or sculpture represents something I can understand, then it's art. A pile of **** with the title "steaming arcades" doesn't cut it for me.

piet mondrian. Sh!t, I can do most of that in microsoft paint.

[jk the sooner fan]

piet mondrian. Sh!t, I can do most of that in microsoft paint.

exactly!!!!!!!

[sanantoniosooner]

exactly!!!!!!!
yeah, but it's a little different to do it with a program than to actually have to paint it.

Most of it was experiments with spacing and stuff.

yeah in some of the more contemporary ones perhaps.

definitely should go to the Cowboy Hall of Fame in OKC. Gilcrease in Tulsa, the Eiteljorg in Indianapolis also.
I can spend hours in Gilcrease but more into historical period pieces rather than ma and pa genre types.
I'm really growing into abstract stuff though.

[C&CDean]

I'm really growing into abstract stuff though.

Don't. Do. It. Besides, you don't "grow" into abstract stuff. You grow OUT of abstract stuff. 4-year old's finger painting = abstract. 30-year old's painting of drums that ain't there = art.

[sooner_born_1960]

On the other hand, if you've got suckers willing to shell out money for "abstract" art, go for it.

[sanantoniosooner]

some abstract art is crap.

This gives the people that don't understand the rest of it an excuse.

Dean can talk the finer points of intercultural foods and gets stumped on "Lillies". :D

I can talk the finer points of pretty much anything amigo. I'm one worldly son-of-a-bitch. That's why I got street cred. Yo.

[Frozen Sooner]

Art is a subjective experience pretty much by definition. If Dean doesn't respond to abstract art, then I don't consider that a failing at all. Heck, he's even entitled to his opinion that it's dreck.

[sanantoniosooner]

Rappers and thugs got street cred.

They wouldn't know art if it busted a cap in their ***.

[picasso]

for my vanities.

[proud gonzo]

i like it--why'd you decide to change it?

[picasso]

i like it--why'd you decide to change it?
because it sucked.:D

I hated the face and the perspective was wrong with his lower person, not wide enough. the space I'm painting in here doesn't allow me to get a wide view of what I'm working on. sometimes it jacks up the perspective.

anywho, redid the face, left arm and a few other things.

[Chuck Bao]

I agree that it’s a 100x better.

It’s much more provocative. How exactly do you do that?

It’s sorta like the face paint is chrome metallic and a truly modern warrior face emerges from the background of the natural sun setting on the horizon and the ghosts of ancient warriors past.

It’s even more hostile and visually arresting.

I wouldn’t want it in my home, but maybe that sort of spirit should be in a board room or lawyers office.

How do you do that?

yeah, some of my subjects freak people out. I'm honestly trying to do more work that could reach a broader type of audience.

How do I do what exactly? I just blacked out his face and started over. I even used a new model (scanned an Osage kid's face off my Sis's 1974 high school yearbook):D .
I paint dark and just bring in the lighter colors. it's tricky and takes a while to get it right.

[Chuck Bao]

Thank you for explaining that, Pic.

But, I have no idea what you just said. I can't even successfully sign my own name twice the same way. And, I have the absolute worst sense of taste in the world.

What I was trying to ask is how you have the mental image before you paint. Before you start to paint over a previous work, I assume you have a visual or mental image of what that painting should be.

So, how do you see that image? Abuse of alcohol? golf? Howzit? ;)

[picasso]

haha.:D

I have an image in my head but I get ideas from magazine ads, old rusty things, you name it. I had an idea to put some sacred paint on this guy but almost chickened out and just put flesh tones on him again. I had to go for it the other night.

and that piece I did a few years ago that won all of those awards was actually painted over a pretty cool painting I had done of a dead warrior in the snow. I just grew to dislike it.
