[Sky Masterson]

You're one talented Mother bleeper.:D

[VenusRising]

15. Congratulations!!!!!

That is fantastic.

Best of luck, BNL. :hug:

:applause::yourock:

[BarenakedLady]

19. Honestly,

I don't even care about winning. I think it's just cool to be in it.

Thanks

[VenusRising]

26. I understand .

I still have my one piece that made it into a show hanging on my wall. I love it and am really proud of it. It's nice having a piece (lat alone three!!!!) recognized as being show worthy.


:)

[bluesbassman]

16. Way to go!

Those are all very nice works and I wish you the best of luck at the art show.:thumbsup:

[BarenakedLady]

20. Thank you very much.

:)

[Dangerously Amused]

21. Wow, congrats!

:bounce:

I love them all but I especially love the sculpture. What material did you use? It almost looks like bronze, but that may be my screen. How tall is it? I'm guessing nearly four feet. That is so cool!

[BarenakedLady]

27. I painted it to look like bronze

But it's really plaster. I am currently working on a real bronze torso. It's only about two foot tall, if that. Bronze will still way a ton. I think we'll casting that on Wednesday.

Thanks.

[jobycom]

23. I ain't gonna wish you luck.

I don't know why you'd need luck with skill like that. :)

Hope the judges have eyes, that's all.

Congratulations. Looks well deserved. I love the sculpture!

[BarenakedLady]

28. Thanks

But there are a lot of talented students in my school.

:D

[bigwillq]

24. Yay! Congrats!

:bounce: Good Luck!

[BarenakedLady]

29. Thank you!

I appreciate it.

[MorningGlow]

25. Yay! Good for you!

:toast:

I'm no art critic, but I think your pieces are excellent.

Glad to see you doing a happy dance about something these days, too! :D

[BarenakedLady]

30. But you know about art!

More than me!

Thank you for your kind words.

:hug:

[MorningGlow]

31. Oho no I don't

Not visual arts--not by a long shot! I only wish I could create visual art like you do! I'm just a word-slinger.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

32. Awesome! Best of luck BNL!!

All 3 pieces are wonderful :applause:

One of the true joys of DU is seeing the many talents of its members. :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

34. Thanks.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

33. Awesome! Congratulations and good luck!

[BarenakedLady]

35. Thank you.

I feel like I won something already just being accepted.

[applegrove]

36. You've got talent!!

[BarenakedLady]

37. Why thank you!

I've learned a ton over the past two years.

[redqueen]

38. Cool!

I love the figure drawing... very impressive!

[BarenakedLady]

39. Thanks redqueen.

I like that one too. I was surprised it came out so well. It looks even better in a frame (and not blurry).

[redqueen]

40. It looks damn good blurry, even.

I was tempted to say "Do more like that!" but that'd be bossy. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear BarenakedLady!

Wow, congrats!

Those are all impressive, and so very different! You are obviously a very talented person, and I think you will do well!

Congrats, sweetie!

:toast: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

[BarenakedLady]

42. Wow, Thank you Peggy.

:D

[RFKHumphreyObama]

43. Wow! They are all brilliant

You do have great talent. You are a first class artist. You deserve to win. Good luck!

[BarenakedLady]

45. That is very kind of you.

Thank you.

[flvegan]

44. Congrats o she of great talent!

I'm not going to mention anything about nudity. I'm behaving.

[BarenakedLady]

46. Why?

Why behave? That's my motto these days. :D

Thanks, btw.

[flvegan]

47. OOOO reallllllly????

I like your motto. Regardless, I'm going to show restraint in your most fantastic thread about your artwork and not sully it with suggestions of how we could break that new house of yours in. wink, wink

[BarenakedLady]

49. Hahaha

Upstate NY in July isn't as muggy as FL in July. Just sayin...

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

51. Depends on how hard we work to change that.

At least within that confined space.

[BarenakedLady]

53. My new house has A/C

I think ahead.

:P

[flvegan]

55. Is it a big enough unit?

[BarenakedLady]

57. I think you'd have to answer that question.

O8)

[flvegan]

59. Are we

still talking about air conditioning? Most of the time, when uh, new construction is...er "raised" they normally have a good sized, if not bordering on overkill unit attached. Not TOO big so as to be unsightly to where you want to put some sort of lattice around it, but a good and efficient size. A perfect balance.

[BarenakedLady]

61. I dunno

But I'm laughing like a banshee at the moment.

:rofl:

I may be totally a perv though

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

63. Good.

Glad I could put a smile on your face from this far away.

And yeah, you're totally a perv. But that's good.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

48. Good Luck BnL!!

*fingers crossed*

:bounce: <-----me, for you----> :hug:

[BarenakedLady]

50. Thank you, TA

:hug:

I hope things are going well for you, my friend.

[Wapsie B]

52. Congratulations!

:toast:

[BarenakedLady]

54. Thank you very much.

:)

[Xipe Totec]

56. I like the bare naked lady picture... n/t

[BarenakedLady]

58. Me too!

:)

Thanks.

[elshiva]

60. I love the sculpture. Reminds me of a headless adipose.

[BarenakedLady]

62. Heh

I'm glad it reminds you of something.

:)

[elshiva]

64. Seriously, it's an awesome sculpture.

:hug: :hug:

[ThomCat]

65. Best of luck to you!

:loveya:

I love that sculpture.

Even in a grainy photo we can see that you're developing a really wonderful skill with pencil drawing. You definitely are mastering realistic representation.

The third image strikes me as an older image. It's nice, but compared to the other two it doesn't shine. I think if you were to re-do this you could make it or order of magnitude better. Especially with just a beautiful model I'd love to see what you could do with this if you re-did it.

[miss_american_pie]

66. Of course they were!

:party:

[1gobluedem]

67. Congrats!

All three are fabulous but, if I had to pick, I like the sculpture best. You're very talented!

[Inchworm]

68. That last one is a ringer!

You are beautiful so they have to pick it!!

I can't wait to hear how you placed! :woohoo:

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[Inchworm]

69. An "It's Showtime" kick

I'm just a curious feller :)

G'luck tonight!

:woohoo:
