Re: Visual Art

it took me months after I started this thread, but I finally got it figured out how to upload an image correctly. I trust you will find that, in comparison to the others, that it was not worth your wait, lol. Cheers to chicanobuddhista and photobucket.com

Re: Visual Art

Hello Alan,

Well done for getting your picture posted.
I love the bright colours in this one. Sometimes Zen Buddhist art can be a little drab and it's good to see some vibrancy (if that' s the right word :? ).

Here is a Skylark I am working on at the moment.
Apologies for the bad photo.


I just need to sort out a bit of the ground and should be there. Well maybe the odd tweak :roll:

Re: Visual Art

Here’s an image that I created from a “Monkey King” mask. Long story why I am interested in the Monkey King, but the story the legend does have a connection to Buddhism and so thought I would post.

Hello Will,

I have taken a few close up shots here (probably too big and boring to show on the forum).

I drew the picture with five pencils 4B 2B HB 2H 4H and a putty rubber(eraser). The bird is about 9cm 3.5in in length.

Dirk,

Is there a specific image of a crow you had in mind? A Carrion Crow? They are one of my favourite birds, I like Ted Hughes book poems "Crow " too.

All the best,

Philip

Re: Visual Art

A Carrion Crow is perfect no particular image in mind i was just saying it like IF you had a pic drawn or were so inclined no pressure ops:

I like crows particualarly, I think because they outsmarted me (easy task i know ) and trained me to feed them etc. One fellow here says in a very funny voice "hello!" in order to snag an extra snack.

Any who I Just was really floored by your nice sketches
