No art is terrible...imho.
Its self expression and doing the best with the gift given to us.
It could be - different or - your too self critical.

As G.K. Chesterton said , “If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.”

You had a different one up before...
Where did it go? :) I liked it too.

Thanks! I removed it because my mom is adamant that I not reveal my full name on here. I used to be a partner on YouTube, and there were a few weirdos who crossed lines and made her paranoid. I most often only sign my first name or my nickname because I have a preposterously long, space-consuming full name, but on that one and a few others I actually used it.

I uploaded an album of a few of my paintings last autumn, but it disappeared from my profile when the site was refurbished. Hmmmmm. I'll try to figure out what happened to it.

If you're interested, this is a video I made for a combined AP Art Portfolio and AP English Lit assignment. I also used it as my Mother's Day gift that year. :D It's quite long so I'll understand if you don't watch it.


The password for that video is peacock all in lower caps.

I might change the password again in a few days but for now it will work.

Eta: I temporarily changed the settings to the video is accessible without the password. :) I keep about 75% of my content there password protected for privacy reasons, but it's simple enough to change the settings.

The thread title says , " Show me your art work " , so this is a photo , a poor photo , of a painting hanging on the wall just next to me .

It belonged to my dad's younger brother . In the army in WW2 , he was stationed for a while on the Isle of Man . There was an internment camp on the island for Italian nationals . Among them was an Italian painter called Sorgiani and he painted this for my uncle . It is a painting created on the island in 1941 . It is painted on the back of a piece of a wooden box .
