Thanks. I'm staying away from trademarked ships such as Feds, Klinks, Roms, etc. Next one is Thu11s ISC front view, which tied the Hydran for 1st:



I'll get started on it next weekend.

I still amaze myself at how Ignorant I an be at times Reptor. I caught a Biography on Van Gough yesterday, and Of course having heard about his Ear all my life, I was surprised to find out He cut his Ear off after an Arguement with Go Gan. Then Presented It to a Prostitute.

all my life I thought he cut off his ear for inspiration. I'm going to have to check out some Books about The lives of Artist I think. Any Suggestions Bro?

A lot of what makes an artist of the past famous is more about how his life has affect his art, - not the art itself. Van Gogh is a perfect example. Schooled in the traditional classical art of his time, his tragic life is what brought us the Van Gogh we all know fueled by the new Impressionism. It's said his sickness was brought about by lead poisoning which the paint back was then induated with. He had a bad habit of holding his brushes in his mouth. Van Gogh only sold 1 painting during his lifetime.

Rembrant's life  makes a good read. Leonardo DaVinci as well. A lot of book stores has some good art books in the bargain bin, and a good online art site is at http://cgfa.sunsite.dk/index.html

A good, but somewhat expensive book on art is Sister Wendy's Story of Painting. The video version is great.

I ended up going to the hospital again the other day. I asked for a 2nd opinion from a different doctor and found I have gall stones. That 1st doc I had was really bad, as if he was trying to milk my insurance for every penny he can get. Surgery is now scheduled this upcoming Tues. I finally see an end-game to this.  ;D

I'll have my next painting done prior to that. Should have it done by Sunday. Thanks, Stephen.

Stephen

I don't recall reading anything on it. The main thing that sticks out in my mind is the lead poisoning which is attributed to him spazing out. Combine that with his spirituality, and you can see how he derived his vision.

Hey, since I'm not working right now, I'm gonna go ahead and knock out the underpainting today.
 :D

Fascinating.... I didn't realize, until viewing the pic in black and white, just how sensual that ship looked.

Now, I'm beginning to see men's fascination with ships.  Ok..... this is strange so I'll move along now.

Thinking about doing another series of 3 based on dragons this time. Right now, I'm trying to get the GFL to host a OP tourney in which the winner will get one of the original starship paintings. Will pass on what's up when I get some news.
