Battleship Bismarck painting

I actually don't have one right now. I got laid off about three weeks ago. I guess my painting hobby is my day job for a while.

 

I am about finished siding my house and it is going to need a coat of paint....

Do you think we could paint it to look like a bunker on the Atlantic Wall?

 

I was thinking you would prefer it to be a machine gun position ala "Wake Island" since it's your favorite movie.

 

That's already in the back yard

 

Of course! The Germans did it back in '44:

 

The pool cabana?

 

That's what I am talking about......love what they have done with the grey!!!!

 

And just look at the beautiful "picture window" on the far right. Perfect for sweeping panoramic views of the French seaside!

 

You've got a great talent, buddy. keep sharing your work with us, please!

 

You are talking about his Bismark painting or the rough draft of the curb appeal of Brad's house?

Ok, sixteen left now!

 

Your paintings are looking better everytime. it's a real tribute to the ship

 

Do you ever sell your paintings? It looks pretty impressive!

 

Nah, just a hobby to keep me out of trouble.

 

Darren, I missed seeing this thread earlier. What a fantastic job you have done. I really like the depth you have created and the "life" feel I get when looking at it. The dimensionality and the effective use of tone on tone do not give it the flatness one frequently sees from paintings which use a photograph as a source. I really hope that an opportunity develops for you to expand this into more than a hobby. Regardless of whether or not you do this full time, you are an Artist with an exceptional ability to "see" and interpret that onto canvas.

 

Dammit I hate you... if only I had those painting skillz and wouldn't have to h4x... sad faec

 

Excellent!

 

That is amazing ! :O Superb details and to me it looks liek a pro have made it and is good enough to be a photo or used as cover on some book for the Bismarck I´m stunned!
