Thread Name: BS: How Many 'Catters Do Visual Art?
Subject: RE: BS: How Many 'Catters Do Visual Art?
started out painting (oil, watercolours) in my early teens,
as well as drawing, (pen & ink, coloured pencil, watercolour pencil)
and have continued off and on for the last 20+ years. I also got into sculpture (which I love the most as a visual art), I did some iron casting, some pieces in bronze, as well as papier mache, clay, plaster, even tried stone carving etc. (I entered a cast iron piece I made in a community arts council show, which later went on to the provincial show, and received an honourable mention) of course I have no images available online, but the piece was about 14" long by 2 inches and was a bone (femur) at one end and a polished wrench on the other - I did a few similar, whimsical pieces but about 6-7yrs ago I got into fiddle music, the muse took over. But over the last couple of years Ive been into making, pre-historic goddess images.
(willendorf, lauselle etc). Now that Im getting married and have bought a house with my fiancee, we will have lots of room to get involved in various messy art projects (shes quite talented as well both musically and in visual art).
