nice one, Raven! what are you gonna do with it? do you hang your paintings around the house?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

He's going to hang that one in the toilet, scare the living daylights out of his missus when she goes for a dump.

[Bruce Rioja]

Is that the girl from Let The Right One In?

Blimey. Of course it is. I hadn't made the connection at all, Kinty, but now you have it's so obvious. It's an absolutely incredible likeness.

Wouldn't fancy it on the chimney breast, like, but it's a very good piece of work, Raven.

[Raven]

Thanks, have put others up, one was done for that purpose at we (I mean she) could not find one with the right colours, been told that ones not going up...no idea why

maybe she (and Tango) might like it better if you put a decorative boat or fog-lamp or lighthouse in the background?

Or maybe somebody paddling a sea kayak?

Yup - when i saw the draft to be honest i was a bit but it makes sense now as you say, absolutely spitting image! though i think i would like to see one depicting a scene so to speak.

So others can make the comparison:

[TANGODANCER]

Had a dabble at an "estuary with the tide out" scene. I like seascapes..

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Brilliant - now leave it the feck alone!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

I reckon a nice little lamp would brighten it up. Just for interest sake, mind...

[Bruce Rioja]

Where's the fecking Vulcan Bomber on it? Tssk.

[mrkint]

I think adding Free Willy jumping over the boat would be great.

[Bruce Rioja]

Yeah, or some nice person on a Jet-ski.

Your wish...

again.... spookily the same as a post just above yours!!!

I'm not sure what's happening to me. I might be living in a parallel universe, or I might be a plagiarist and only just coming to terms with the fact. i'll wait and see if I rip any more posts off and claim them as my own

[Raven]

Very nice indeed

[thebish]

hmmm... if we could harness Tango's watercolour finesse and somehow mate it with Ravens horrific flair, then we'd be onto a winner...

[TANGODANCER]

Listen, do you think Constable really set out to paint The Hay Wain? No, he set out to paint a nice rural scene with a river. The he added the cart for interest and and....Bingo. Royal Academy stuff. Turner painted a foggy day, thought "I'll have a train coming out of the mist"..Bingo. Vitruvian Man? Da Vinci couldn't make his mind up about the arms and legs, so he left em all in.

And so it went on.....
