Keith, nice tree! What a fun gig! But I wondered at yer mention of Gluck's "1762 Orfeo."
Was there another version by him? ;-)
edit: OMG! There was! I am humbled!. And me with Cecilia Bartoli's awesome
Gluck CD residing in my truck!
Mooser, ran into yer first subject at a theatre in LA a few years ago. Actually, he ran into me
so I asked him how Kurtz was doing. Yer drawings are SUPERBE!
And seeing the David in person is a very powerful experience.
Did you notice the nice benches 'behind' David? You can escape the insane crush in front of
him and relax and appreciate his better side. It is so crazy - everybody ticking David off
of their lists and you can go upstairs and commune with four or five Caravaggios, literally
by yerself, in total peace and quiet.
Since the thread title calls for an image...
Happy birthday, Medusa!

Hey artists and art lovers!
As always, some great, diverse, and fascinating work here.
I'd like to start pursuing my own art again, as it's been a long time.
I'm most interested in watercolor, what a challenging medium! The few examples here are epic, thanks for the inspiration.
Digging through some stuff I found a few old color pencil sketches from 15yrs ago or so.
I still always have basic art supplies in my car, why don't I use them?!

Rain room LACMA - FUN!
It's a heavy downpour, but whereever you walk, it senses you and stops raining.

Jayzus, only in LA do they consider rain art. Bet the good folk of Forks, WA would line up for hours to experience that!
Mooser, I'd say you've done him!

hey there say, mooser...
try getting it wider, a pinch, and not so long...
not sure:
forehead... or shadowing?
and maybe the rest of the face, a tad wider?
it looks great!! but said this, as to your comment...
i NEVER can get certain things right, in the forehead, and side shadows,
there, so i know it can trip me up...
:)
wow, you are, doing:
great!!!!
oh, and noses, too, are easy to get too long, or too short,
depending on how EACH of us, as individuals, SEE it...

Mooser, you have great sight and attention to detail. I am really slow at drawing and I always seem to be slightly off, but have fun doing it. Would love to see some of your nature and architecture work if you have any.
Here's a detail of my finished Raven. Well still needs an eye, lol
Going to do a similar background as the painting below. Weird, dreamlike, sometimes nightmarish, figures, that form flames. I just start painting figures and see where it leads.

There are a lot of talented people here on S.T.
My son graduated high school with this guy, Greg Haynes, who was a star runner in track. He was a talented artist as well, and I bought one of his early works at the local library, where he had his 1st show.
I'll never regret buying that painting. An example of Greg's work.
