  quietone,
  That is such an awesome painting!  You really should do more of them.  Are you selling them?  I think you could. Did you do this one with the Bob Ross method too?
  
  Wow!

• quietone said on Mar 11, 2009....

  CW ~ yes it is his method.  I have to learn to quit puttering and get bold! LOL  But, it was fun.  Maybe some day I will sell them, when I think they are good enough to put a price on!  Thanks

• CreativeWoman said on Mar 11, 2009....

  They are already good enough!  :-)

  Thanks.  I gave one away already.. the covered bridge one.  I enjoy giving them away to friends and family.

  Quiet.....I like it. Its a good painting. Animals are a difficult object to work with.. ...that's why i rarely draw them...
  
  I prefer human bodies...
  
  Will you try to paint one of them?
  

• pickersplock said on Mar 11, 2009....

  Hey, that is nifty!
  It looks so real!

• MissMimi said on Mar 11, 2009....

  quilty he's gorgeous!  You did a really good job -- hard to believe this is your first try at painting an animal.  I like it a lot!

• gingersoul said on Mar 11, 2009....

  Hi, Mimibella!!!

• mobil said on Mar 11, 2009....

  Ok Quiet, I am sitting here looking at your wolf picture and I'm going to be very critical cause I consider the wolf to be my spirit animal. That along with the grizzly bear and the mountain lion, wolverine, raccoon, beaver, skunk, possum, fox, gopher, rat and field mouse.

   

  He looks good Quiet, you did well on his eyes, he looks like he just ate Red Riding Hood and is on his way to Grandma's house. I give you an A on this one, but don't let it go to your head, cause I don't know shit about painting ok?

• moonriver said on Mar 11, 2009....

  it's a very good painting, my friend.
  i agree with mobil.
  this canine fellow looks like he just inflicted a naughty deed on little red riding hood.
  
  

• MsStar39 said on Mar 11, 2009....

  It's very nice, I like it.

• Twylarants said on Mar 11, 2009....

  He's beautiful, but a little threatening, like he's getting ready to pounce.  Very nice, Quiet.

• Hegemone said on Mar 11, 2009....

  I liked it anyway Quiet, very nice.  I like some of the brush strokes you used!

• beyondtheveil said on Mar 11, 2009....

  quiet- Its good. You should do more animals (because I like them). 

• PAPERBACKWRITER said on Mar 12, 2009....

  
  Incredible work, quiet!
  
  The eyes are magnificent.
  
  Holland girls: ahhhhhhhhhhh
  
  Mary: waaaaaaaaaawow
  
  Mary can say "wow" now... specially after we all go , awwwwwwwwww.  I will try to catch it on video...but yeah, that is what she did after seeing your painting...:
  
  Waaawow
  
  *giggles*

• Me-Myself&I said on Mar 12, 2009....

  wonderful Quietone, well done!

• BEWELL said on Mar 12, 2009....

  Very nice, great detail

• destinydiva said on Mar 12, 2009....

  wow quiet that is fantastic!!! I love that!! I would buy that off you for my house!! I love it :-) xxxx

• quietone said on Mar 12, 2009....

  ginger ~ I doubt I will ever do the human body in a painting.. only at a distance.  I have tried, not pretty!  LOL  but then, I could do a picasso abstract of them I suppose.
  
  pickers ~ thanks kido!
  
  meems ~ I don't think I will try many more.  But, to get good, I guess you have to practice..
  
  mobil ~ trust me, I will leave the rest of those wild animals right in the woods!  Thanks
  
  moon ~ the thing I like is his eyes do follow you no matter where you walk in the room.  Now that is cool!
  
  msStar ~ thanks
  
  Twyla ~ I don't get that feeling, I just think he is watching.
  
  hege ~ thanks.  do you paint?
  
  beyond ~ ha, I'd make you guess what the next one was instead of telling you !  LOL
  
  paper ~ awe, how cute!  you tell those girls thank you.  :)  I do hope you can catch them on video.
  
  Memy ~ wow you are still around!  ha, good to see you my friend.
  
  
  

• Hegemone said on Mar 12, 2009....

  Quiet - Heh, the most I paint would be paint by numbers, although I have dabbled here and there.  Mostly I just don't get the time to explore that part of my "creative psyche" anymore, but I definitely appreciate a good painting show (Bob Ross is awesome for soothing one's nerves) and I know what I like.

• RollingC said on Mar 12, 2009....

  And a darn good attempt at that.  It only gets better you know, so you should try again sometime later....maybe after you do some other animals?

• uniquely-ironic said on Mar 12, 2009....

  gorgeous!  His eyes seem so real!

• WithoutShade said on Mar 12, 2009....

  AHH! It's staring at me!
  
  Very good job!
  
  -one without shade
  

• quietone said on Mar 12, 2009....

  Bewell ~ thanks, I like to have fun with it.  I don't plan on making money off from it for sure! 
  
  destiny ~ well, maybe I better start thinking of a good wedding present for ya huh???
  
  hege ~ Yes, Bob Ross's voice was so soothing.  Him and his happy little world and his happy little clouds! ha.  His shows are still on tv.  Thanks.
  
  Rc ~ I really would like to do some raccoons and maybe a squirl or two.  I think the raccoons would be fun.  thanks.
  
  uni ~ yes, I like the eyes on him.. they follow you in the room too.
  
  withoutshade ~ yes he does stare at you, and follow you around the room too!
  
  
  

• rmuxagirl said on Mar 12, 2009....

  This would look so wonderful in my parents' house.  There is hunting stuff all over and pictures of woodsy animals.  If I saw it in a store or something I would totally buy it.

• cuppajava said on Mar 12, 2009....

  I like this -i know how hard it is trying to get the eyes and the fur correct the way that you want it to be.I give you an A for the first attempt -you have set yourself a pretty high standard.I like the back ground colour blend,is that a back wash that you have painted over? I used to do that when i painted on canvas,I would mix a really obscure colour and get it on a sponge and sponge it on the whole canvas in different patterns and shades and shapes,wait for it to dry and then paint the picture over it.

• kruuyai said on Mar 12, 2009....

  If this is your first attempt at an animal, I would say it's outstanding.  I wouldn't give up at all.  If it's not exactly what you pictured in your head when you started out, then practice will only help you improve.  I've seen gallery pieces that weren't as well done.  Remember, art is about expression and interpretation, not about reproduction, so I prefer this slightly impressionistic type of rendering to something that could be mistaken for a photograph.  Well done.  Paint on, my dear, paint on!

• pusscat said on Mar 12, 2009....

  Oh quiet, this is wonderful! First attempt?!  Please don't stop painting animals now.  If this is a first attempt, the sky is the limit from here on.
  
  You say, "when I think they are good enough to put a price on. . .".  How good a painting is will always be in the eye of the viewer and this viewer thinks it's beautiful.  Eyes of man or beast are always one of the most difficult things to show 'life' in but you have truly captured it :-)

• D6fer said on Mar 12, 2009....

  wow.....I wish I had that talent.....great job!

• quietone said on Mar 13, 2009....

  rmuxagirl ~ Thanks.  I think my brother will like this painting too.  He loves wolves. 
  
  cuppa ~ yes it is an underpainting with acrylic then overpaint with oil.  It was my first time combining the two.  ot sure I liked it or not! haha.  thanks
  
  kruu ~ yes, you are exactly right.  I have forgotten that.  expression and interpretation is so very important.  it makes and "artist" who they are.  thanks for the reminder. 
  
  pusscat ~ well, thanks gril.  you know the eyes was the easiest thing on this whole picture!  I'd like to do some raccons.. I'll see! haha.  thanks
  
  D6 - thanks. 
  

• moonriver said on Mar 13, 2009....

  quiet, he's always following you with his eyes?
  maybe he thinks you're little red riding hood... :-)
  
  yup, i can imagine the combination of acrylic and oil (although i haven't done that myself... just acrylic and pastels).
  very practical. acrylic for large volumes of color and broad strokes, easier to handle, then overlay with oils to give body and detail.
  
  

• quietone said on Mar 13, 2009....

  moon ~ I don't think I am  going to like acrylic for the fact that it dries too fast and leaves no time for dabbing!  haha.  Yup, I can be a dabber.  But, I am willing to give it a go.  Me, ha.. little red riding hood! now that was funny!

• diabolicdame said on Mar 14, 2009....

  You're really good at this quiet.. it looks very nice!

• quietone said on Mar 15, 2009....

  dd ~ hello, and thanks.  I enjoy it too 

• wombat said on Mar 16, 2009....

  Oh my....quietone.  I really am sorry to have missed this.  This is really good!  You have more talent than you ever give yourself credit for.  I tried painting this weekend, and it turned out so crappy I will mail you my left-over paints and brushes....ha.  Very nice work!  The detail is amazing.  You have something else besides talent....patience!

• quietone said on Mar 16, 2009....

  wombie ~ one thing I know for sure is I do not have patience!  LOL

• barbeee said on Mar 17, 2009....
