nrshida - Artist

[nrshida]

So it's been a very emotional time for me of late. I rather unexpectedly found an outlet in an activity I haven't done for many many years - art. Inspired by Rothko and Turner, Everett and Hill, I took up Mrs. Shida's acrylic paints and one of her unwanted canvases and tried to make a piece depicting the conflict between the torment and elation of being a parent. It turned out way better than I expected but I'm a bit embarassed to show the piece, so personal is it.

I can't bring myself to show my friends. I was thinking I could show a quick photograph of it here and get some input. I know there are a lot of resident artists and there is an element of anonymity here after all.

What do you think?

We'd be happy to see it Shida, if you don't feel like posting it here you can always PM it to a few friends, asking opinions, I'd like to see 

 

[Copprhed]

Please, my friend, it would be an honor to see it!

[mechanic]

post it, no point dipping your toe in the water when you could dive in and get the whole experience

[coombz]

post it as long as it's not too emotional 

my heartstrings are a lot more vulnerable to being tugged these days!

Post it. Even if people won't like it it's always better to share your art instead of keeping it hidden.

Its rubbish, it does not look anything like a lady in the nuddie

Rothko was the one who did not speak in the Marx Brothers?

[nrshida]

See, people like zack1234 here make me nervous.

Not wishing to sound immodest, but I think it's a profound piece of work. I was thinking of donating the piece to the hospital, or perhaps I could auction it to a collector and donate the money to the hospital and here's Zack taking the piss already.

I don't mind artistic criticism but I'm not going to show it if jokers like Zack1234 aren't going to take the work seriously.

Zack is the reason Picasso hacked his ear off. That guy is bad news 

[nrshida]

Exactly. I went to art college you know, a long time ago but it still counts.

Chanting....POST POST POST!!!!!!

[The Fugitive]

Post it. Ignore the idiots.... You know who they are. Take the criticism of those you respect..... You know those too.

[FBDragon]

As an artist myself I would love to see it. I've got all over the walls of buildings in my old hometown in Ky so I'm not afriad to show my artwork. I love constructive critisizm from all, it just makes you a better artist. Your always gonna have the idiots, they are always around no matter what. So don't be afraid to post the ones that count will always respect you!!! 

[JOACH1M]

Post it shida! Be proud of what you have made

[Shuffler]

I'm waiting to see it myself.
