Just finished this....

[Scully]

Thanks again all; I'll stop for a while now otherwise my head may wedge in the doorframe.

[Lord Geordie]

How quick can your draw a £50 note :lol:

 

Some AWESOME work there Scully.

 

I Have zero skills in arts stuff, I just blunder my way through things and see how they come out! Drawing is not a strong point! I had a few poems published may years ago. I still write a little now when I am inspired! but not as much as I used to.

[wisdom]

Please put some more on its pure genius would like to see the bmc one.

Have never drawn a £50 note, but there are some amazing drawings of banknotes on youtube. Thank you very much.

I'm afraid the BMC engine painting sold a long long time ago. Here's one you may like:

See, not THAT would look very nice adorning a birthday card! Have you considered commission work?

[FalconFN]

There are lots of people who call themselves painters or even artists, sadly very few are. Your work is excellent Scully, very skillful, technically accomplished (superbly executed shadows on the car by the way!) and pleasing to the eye.

 

Is it a Riley of some sort?

[malkiserow]

I've been working on highly detailed 'found' objects arranged on a still life theme for a gallery in Lancashire. This is the latest one of several I've done of taps; this one is of a verdigris brass tap and an old Corgi toy I found amongst a tin of others from my youth.

Hope you like it:

You've got some cracking skills Scully

You've got some cracking skills Scully

As opposed to crack spills in your avatar...

[wisdom]

One thing about these forums that never ceases to amaze me is the talent and skills people have.

Painting,metalwork,gunsmithing,stockwork and knife and toolmaking.There are many more but it's nice to see what people can do.

[Scully]

Thanks again chaps, and yes, it is a Riley, but I can't recall what model.

[carl jones]

I had to read down to see what was done. I thought the objects were real (a photo)! Amazing talent you have there!

[john deere]

Out of interest Scully how long did it take you to paint the picture of the tap and toy car.

[pigeonblasterian]

I know nothing about art but i think you are brilliant at it Scully.

[fortune]

I like them. They give me pleasure because I can understand what they are and appreciate the talent that you have. Yes the same image can be taken with a digital camera but it is the hand and eye skill that you have put in that makes the difference. There was an artist that lived down the road and I didn't like his stuff at all. It was all sort of soft focus stuff like double vision.

[Scully]

Out of interest Scully how long did it take you to paint the picture of the tap and toy car.

 

I typically have three or four paintings going on at the same time, so have never really accurately timed myself, but because they are quite small paintings I think the tap ones took me less than a day.

Thanks for all the kind comments gents.

Very good indeed, shame to let that line go unappreciated.

 

Scully, I recall from a previous thread just how good your artwork is and these latest pics only serve to reinforce that. I am very much in awe of your talents.
