I love painting with acrylics. When I was younger I used oil paints. Acrylics dry so much faster and are more versatile. (And cleaning the brushes is a breeze!)
I started making mosaics with broken wine and beer bottles. It doesn't require talent, just a lot of patience.
I like your vintner painting, btw. It looks great!
I do everything. My motto is "whatever works". Here are a couple of things indicative of my work, but there's lots more...I welcome the opportunity to chat and share with other artists!
I am. Trained as a functional potter. I also do cast iron sculpture and printmaking.
I am currently working in ceramics, leather, and metal props, mainly for my historical re-enactment group. Here's pic of a bust of Tesla and a couple of mugs I made recently. I've also worked in other media from Illustrator to punk rock cartoons.
What kind of re-enactment? I'm an on again off again member of the SCA...
@Freespirit64 I mainly do pirate reenactment. Our membership overlaps with SCA. We also do Wild West, steampunk, and Victorian. We just did a private party with Visigoths, medieval knights jousting, and us shooting our flintlocks and cannons.

That sounds absolutely wonderful! I love that stuff! It's so much fun. So. Much. Fun!
I love art in general but I love to paint with my toddler we haven't in a while been moving a lot lately but she and I love abstract art and tie die art.
I like ceramics myself. Also work with the arts and youth so it is my passion..plus its great therapy.
Wow, nice job on your sky wine! Just tried acrylics last weekend - they dry soo fast! Usually do pencils, ink, charcoal, or watercolor - like the Trump Head reaching down to touch the hearts of Trumpublicans everywhere. It wasn't Palin, but we got 'P' eed on anyway.
I teach art to elmentry students
@Paintmebright sound fun. I need to add that can of class too. How do you think theater and creative writing would go over?
@Paintmebright everything is more fun with wine.
Yes, I'm an 'amateur Artist here in Broken Hill, NSW, Australia, very little actual 'Art Training,' except for in High School, I use acrylic paints, old house paints or whatever I can get that is available fairly cheaply.
I also carve Emu Eggs when I can legally get them.
I've attached a couple of my amateur works for anyone who is interested to have a look at them.
Sorry, I don't think they attached properly, I'll try adding them to my profile instead.
@Triphid
I had to look them up on your profile. I like that you used corrugated metal? Is that what that is? The Egyptian hieroglyphics are cool too!
Oh yes...Emu eggs? That's a new one for me and quite fascinating. Love to see pics of those.
I fancy myself an artist, although I've never sold a painting. I do clay sculpting and oil painting. I see you are from El Paso--that's where I was born/raised!
@Paintmebright No, I have not been back in probably ten years!
