It's a shrunken-down version of an oil painting I did a few weeks ago. Do you like it?
I am thinking of selling paintings on the internet (ebay.)

good painting, i cant paint worth crap!

wOW Gin, you painted that? thats awesome!

It's a heck of a lot better than I can do :)

Sounds like the ebay thing might be worth a try.

thanks. :)

That's awesome!! I wish I could do that! I'm an artist myself, but I've never done an oil painting... only acrylics here. The only oil paints I've used have been poster paints for sign painting school, but they're only for this year. Next year I move on to enamels for metal work, woo!! I can't wait 'til I can pinstripe and airbrush my own car :mrgreen: If you have any other stuff on your computer, I'd love to see it! And I'm sure everyone else would too :wink: I'd post some of my work but I can't upload pictures for some reason... ah well, maybe sometime, lol

Wow, airbrush a car? That'd be cool.
I do some airbrush work (just bought one a few months ago.) I am mainly doing model horses (called Breyers) for now.
I love oil painting. It is pretty annoying cuz of the turpentine, but oh well!

Breyer horses? That's awesome! I used to have a huge collection of those as a kid :) They're really cool. My sister actually bought a model boxer (yes, dog) that was supposedly made by Breyer in the 50's... but we can't find any info on him. I have an airbrush too... but I'm afraid to touch it for fear of breaking it before next year, lol. My friend's mom gave it to me and I don't want to dish out the money for another one when I need it for class next year, and knowing me, I would definately screw it up :shock: Oh and the turpentine is fun stuff, ain't it? lol

Yeah airbrushes are way expensive. I bought mine when we had a little extra cash from selling our other truck. You just have to make sure they're cleaned out 100% before you put them away after using them.
Let me look around on the net, I might be able to find a place where u could find out about the boxer. I know that breyer made dog models, even a few deer models, and a bunch of other stuff besides horses.
I am still a breyer nerd at age 23, and I just bought one for myself (from my mom) on ebay for xmas. :)
