I did this in the beginning of November, 2011. I musta been kinda bummed out, or sumpin'. It's called "Remembering". It's compressed charcoal and charcoal on grey pastel paper, 9x12. The viewpoint is the Brooklyn shore, looking westward. As it is symbolic, don't compare this to the real lower Manhattan skyline! :D

I ain't always this grim!

Perhaps reading too much tb2k before hand ;) Really good work though - I envy all of you artistic types.

TB2K may have been a trigger; living 25 miles to the east of the site coulda done it, too!

"Artistic type"?? :lkick: Maybe "artistic dabbler!" I'm a bona fide member of the "Paint the Sistine Chapel in 25 -- no, 20 -- Minutes School". I enjoyed photography until the digicams came out. "New! Improved! Gotta get this NOW!!!" adverts every three weeks is irritating to me. I figured if oils have been around since the 1500's or so, and charcoal since Adam said, "Hold still, willya, Eve?" and pastels for quite a while (1700's?) they at least, were not going to go digital.

As to not being artistic, that reminds me of a part in Heidi, where Peter says, "I tried to read, once; it was too hard," which Heidi took as gospel truth until Grandmama showed her otherwise. Take a look at what Jackson Pollock did. And how he did it. Then tell me you could not do as well, if not better. A LOT better!!

Wander over to http://www.wetcanvas.com and look around. You'll see pictures done by very good artists, and others (by beginners, admittedly) that I would be embarrassed to upload. Yet all are treated with kindness and encouragement. And there are people who use #2 pencils and printer paper, or ball-point pens to draw with.

OK, lend me your shoulder so's I can hop offa my soap-box! Thank you!

Finally (whew!) thank you for your kind compliment! :eleph:
