Yeah I am. I’ve sold probably two dozen paintings this year ranging in price from $60 to $450. And thank you, it’s crazy to think that it took me five and a half decades to discover that I can actually do art!Are you making money out of your art skills? You’re actually pretty talented!

What medium? Acrylic?
Yep, just house paint on canvas. It’s my jam.

Love it! What size canvas
Cheers Jen.
I think that it's about 400mm by 600mm.
The photo makes it look a bit in your face, its best about a meter back because of the detail.

Do you sell on bluethumb? I’ve only had 1 auctioned for a fundraiser but no cash.
Those portraits are next level Jen.

No I haven’t yet. I sort of looked into it but they take such a huge cut, and I don’t put much on my work. I’ve sold most of my work either off my facebook page or through a local gallery. And thanks re the portraits. It’s such an amazing course that has you producing work like that in 16 weeks. Each term gets progressively harder. I think I’m still on three colours (black white grey) for two more terms and then they introduce colour. Really looking forward to it.
How come I've only just tripped over this thread? Anyhoo, I've been involved with art/design for aeons, I just haven't bothered doing any for the past 20 odd years. Here are some pics (I just took right now) of 20 yr old glossy photos I took of some stuff I did 20 years ago...also some detail of some of them and some prelim sketches to work from. The perspectives look a bit weird in places because of the angle of the photos.
You're a modern day Gauguin!
Wow your work is great, you have a lot of talent. Interesting subject stuff too.
Thanks, I'm having a lot of fun with it at the moment. I paint sporadically, but starting to really ramp up.

My cheap compressor I got off eBay died... so I was on the prowl for a new one. The good ones are all around the $600 mark, which was a bit steep I thought.. and I came across one on a AIRBRUSH DESTASH page. It was brand new still in the box. Top of the range. They decided they’d had it for a year and never got around to using it so they sold it for $240! Did a pack and send, cost me $27 for postage and got it two days later. Absolutely brilliant. Of course, I had to take it for a spin....
Well thank you, yes, pastel and gouache, but brilliant?...maybe for a plodder like me haha.
Wow! When I was toying with airbrush work, (many many moons ago) I was so destitute I had to over-inflate a spare tyre and use the built up air pressure from that - truth!
being able to afford a compressor ...as well as an airbrush was luxury!
ahhh tell that to the kids of today!
Luxury!

Don’t undersell yourself! They are beautiful.
I don’t believe it. I reckon we’re in the same bracket ie. have a genuine talent in art but never the passion/confidence when younger. Then later on, life perspective changes and bang! You realise you have a talent after all.Always! I was seriously s**t at art until I turned 56! Hated it at school. Was never arty, never showed interest. Then wham! It happened! Always a chance Cuzz!
Though I would say your talent is a lot more immense than mine! Lol
Awesome work! Do you have any newer works other than 20 year old stuff?
