True. My painting teacher at Lillstreet Art Center encouraged me to try it, and it worked out.

My latest is not ready for a full reveal yet. Landscape taking longer than anticipated but is turning out very nicely.

Those are pretty great Daniel. Would love to know how you are getting such crisp line work - bright brushes?

On my geometric painting I cheated and used Painters Tape, but it did get the desired result.

There is definitely some great stuff in here. I'm working on one right now and will post when complete (probably Sunday)

I don't think there is any such thing as flooding this thread!

That's really nice DG. 

McCarthy, thanks for the compliment. So far the latest one is the one I like most too. The other three were done during a painting class at Lillstreet Art Center. Now that I'm just playing around and creating, I'm really enjoying it...especially because my creativity is stifled at work by partners that stick with their own style and being on the project management side of things (and the limited budgets/unwillingness to experiment for affordable housing).

CCSLCers,

A recent discussion came about regarding painting as a hobby, which I and others on the board do. It seems like there isn't a thread to show off members' paintings...until now.

Lets have this be a central repository for showing off CCSLC members' painting skills!

Here are a few of my recent works:

The first one now hangs over my sofa and is inspired by a portion of my thesis project. The second is a self portrait done in a painting class I've taken (the background is the doors of a church in my hometown). The third is pie from said painting class and the last one is a copy of Wanderer above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich (one of my favorite paintings/painters) also done in the painting class.

So what happened to seeing who likes your posts? It was interesting.

And ego-boosting.

I think what people are missing is corporate money/support. People have said that Indianapolis could support a third major league team. Fan wise? Yes, absolutely. Corporate sponsorship-wise? Not a chance. The Pacers, Colts, and Indians have the vast majority of it tied up. The same thing goes for Seattle. The fans would most likely show up, but could the NHL team survive playing the fifth-wheel in the corporate money dating game?

There an arena in Cheyenne? If so, bring on the WyoMings! Marinerzz!

Fixed that for you.

Oh come on Kev, if he can't laugh at that joke by now something is wrong.

I'm watching Jets @ Panthers. There is virtually no one sitting in the lower bowl on the bench side between the blue lines, a/k/a the best seats in the house. I did some research and apparently it's become something called "Club Red," where you buy access to a brand-new super-swanky mega-suite for one-percenters, where you can hang out and be rich or go to the seats and watch the game. Which, clearly, no one does. So to the average viewer who isn't conversant with the ever-monetizing ways of Michael Yormark, it looks like no one can be bothered to go to Panthers games. What a way to run a railroad.

I mean, the hell is this? Don't they realize it looks really bad?

I'd like to think that one percenters in the Miami area have better things to do then drive through a swamp and watch the Panthers.

I'd certainly pick doing blow off the ass of a young Latina over the Panthers.

Does their drummer only have one arm?

If you can't make a legible post on a message board, why would you expect someone to visit your site and writeup of the Coyotes?

Stick to what your site is good at Frank, the rare pictures/picture galleries.

That said re: admiral's post - HAHAHAHAHA! Maybe its not the economy making cities grow broke, its the idiots who run some of them.

Same in Safari. Seems like a coding error. Huge swatches of blue after the title bars.

Since I received both the Post of the Day and Worst Post of the Day with the same exact post, mine is cancelled out and I'm not part of a secret society?

F that.

Aw is loooooooooooooogooooooodude mad he hasn't received one? Thought you didn't care about them bra?

Who specifically is allowed to award posters with the highly-coveted CCSLC POTD ribbon?

Anyone with a degree from a fully accredited institution of higher learning.

Sweet! I can give it out now. Screw the fact that I need my degree to get licensed....this is what I got my degree for!

"dick comments"

Well, it's bold, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it italic.

I can't believe people missed this. I'll nominate it.

So to pay for the team, Glendale is getting rid of its public school system?

So if someone actually buys the team with a deal that will actually work out long term....can we still joke about turning jobing.com into a parking lot? It could also become an outlet mall, or better yet a flea market.

ambulances. Drive your own damn self to the hospital!

Ambulances aren't funded by the government. Ambulance costs are included in medical bills.

Whatever. Insert other stuff then. Same result.

You might be working with a locked or background layer. See if one of your layers has a lock on it, that may be the issue.

Also, welcome back sir. Haven't seen you around in a while.

Is there anyway to view the desktop version of the forum from a mobile device?

Anyone wanna answer my question?

If you have a Nokia phone download Opera mobile browser.
