Castles and turrets. Churches and steeples. Houses and chimneys. Smurfs and mushrooms.

Perhaps boats and lighthouses are a bit too suggestive, so it might be better if I scribbled barns----and silos.

You 'scribble' whatever you desire, Sharabella.

Let Julie giggle in her corner and ignore her dirty thoughts. Laughing

You mean my-- um----"body studies"?



Ah shucks, I wasn't sure that anyone actually noticed the quality of the scribbles or just enjoyed the subject matter.

It's easier for me to be objective when the subject is uncomfortable for me.

Well, it's official. Any pretensions I had about being a "fine" artist have gone the way of the dodo. I have even slipped below the term Sunday painter. I am a paint whore. For the possibility of making a few sordid coins, I am reduced to painting----------------Out houses. ****giggle***

Here's the first. If it actually sells, it may be the first of several. I could become the outhouse queen!

OK, it's a "country-fair" booth. I'm also putting in a couple of barns. First time I've had fun painting in years. I just wanted to share my fall into redneck humor. (yea, I know, I AM a redneck. )

Very Happy

That is such a deceptively simple watercolour, Shar. Well done! I would love to see one of your barns or a covered bridge or a broken down fence.

A water color outhouse that I can tell is an outhouse. Amazing!

Well, Bella, considering how many people hang paintings and other artworks in their bathrooms, a really pretty outhouse painting will definitely be appropriate.

Fine art is great. Making a living with fine art is possible for a very few people at a time. Like being an A-list actor, a bestselling author, a professional athlete, a top corporate CEO, a Senator, a Catholic Cardinal, or a supermodel.

The rest of the people do popular art. Shakespeare didn't write literature, he wrote vulgar common popular (for the people) plays. Mozart wrote popular music of the time.

I digress.

How about a covered well? Gazebos? Romantic promenade?

Are you keeping a catalog of items sold, price, location, maybe client? Is that called provenance?

Sharbella,

Been busy and haven't been around but I love the outhouse but I love your nautical scenes, too. I have a nautical theme in a couple of rooms in my house. You are very talented. I think you will do very well at the fair!

Well, after doing a few more paintings, and a couple of very short stories ( for a Halloween story contest) my "muse" is almost gone. Almost time to turn back into a non-creative pumpkin. (Unlike Julie's very creative pumpkins Very Happy ) At least it's the right time of year for it.

I've done a couple of barns and outhouses and deer for sale at the country fair. But I notice that my water color scribbles are getting simpler and simpler. Like this

Even my lighthouses are barely there.

And my last, very sketchy, non-romanticized outhouse sets in the snow. (you just KNOW it's wet and nasty in there.----probably has critters living in it.)

Maybe my muse will return with the Spring.

I've only made 2 good pumpkins on my own, and they're fake. Haven't done a real one since I was a kid and my mom scooped the innards.

This outhouse doesn't quite compare with the previous one. It does feel a lot like seasons changing from lush to stark. The lighthouse one is more a rough seascape with lighthouse.

Now, the fishermen one really catches my eyes. It is smooth and cohesive. No jarring rough-paint patches. Very much a simple hazy morning fishing trip. I can see that on a greeting card or book cover. Beautiful!

Looking at the 3 in posting order, this is what I imagine you're thinking:
Fishermen: I'm feeling good. I'm painting!
Lighthouse: Sky. Sea. Needs something. Salt shaker...no...lighthouse.
Outhouse: Got some green leftover, a little gray and yellow, some brown...zzzzzzzzz...

You know I love your work, right?

Ditto what PJ said. I love your outhouse and nautical themes. You should do well at the country fairs!

Ah Hum.


In honor of the old southern tradition of turning over outhouses (preferably not occupied at the time) on Halloween, I offer this one for the more nostalgia minded.


Opinions - Page 2 Outhouse2

Julie, is this one a little less "crappy" (pun intended) than the last? It was really "number two" of the three.

I've heard of cow tipping, but outhouse tipping?

Nice painting as always!
