Hi Oktema. That's the picture that inspired me in High School to ask my female Art Teacher if I could paint her 'nude'. It almost came to pass, but in the end, we both thought better of it as 'it would' have caused a lot of trouble in the School Educational realm, although it wouldn't have in an official Art environment. You brought back sweet mamm... er, memories.

Love this thread!

I have done a lot of painting and haven’t done so for a few years and wanted to feel inspired again to get back into it.

When we went cruising, I always went to the art auction... for the free glass of champagne which lured me in there...

But I love to see all these budding new artists and their incredible works!

One painting I looked at effected me... I tried to stifle my tears....
by Jim Warren - All dogs go to heaven.

I had put up some amazing art pictures in the Travel forum in the cruise thread last year, on all different decks, at stairwells and hallways, amazing art.
I guess I learnt a lot about modern art on cruise ships and art auctions, sipping champagne!

Oh, and I actually won a piece of art at a draw!
Hey, I just sat there throughout the whole episode and only a handful left at the end... yipeee... it paid off... winner me

Yes, cheery. I have bought coffee cups with matching coasters similar to that colourful “tea time ladies” painting.
Have I ever put up my ballerina? I used monotone pastel chalk.
Also I have some “unfinished” others, one I particularly liked was a girl playing piano, using monotone pastel chalk, on art paper that feels like sandpaper.... very different art feeling.

Almost reminds me of that purplish/goldy Thai Silk stuff.

Anyone remember these?
Sadly the factory out beyond Seven Hills in Sydney closed up a few decades back. But I enjoyed them for what they were. Bit hard on the fingers a bit after a time.

Yes! I’m a collector (actually more of a hoarder!)
And I say to my daughter that makes her laugh whenever she discovers something odd or old “oh...that’s a collectable ya know!”
