anyone dabbled in it before? oil or even acrylic?

two years ago i built a massive heavy-duty easel for her birthday since she wanted to get into painting, but she's never really touched it and it's sitting up in the arts and crafts room just taking up space. i got off work early tonight and on a whim went out to hobby lobby and bought some stretcher bars, a roll of canvas, and a stapler and built a 48" by 36" canvas on my kitchen floor.

i have no training or even a hint of dabbling in it, so if my painting sucks i'm going to call it neo-impressionism, or maybe post-abstract... maybe create a new genre entirely with no prior precedent or context so i will be free of criticism. my goal is to create esoteric, obscure pieces of art that only the upper echelons of the educated and societal members can appreciate. it will be fraught with pretentious meaning and subjective eloquence. i will explain away my utter lack of actual talent as an attempt to capture the esoteric through the blurred eyes of the primitive proletarian.

i'll post my first piece when it's finished. bidding will start the next day, $1,000 minimum, as the demand will surely far exceed the supply (which is one.)

weird, recently on a whim I went out and bought an exacto knife and some spray paint and have been making stencils, even though I am average at art it is a lot of fun. I recommend just enjoying yourself and make something you personally like.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.  He must play with confidence to overcome physical limitations where someone like Cam can struggle all game and then win the game at the end by running someone over. Bryce won’t be that and I am fine with it, it’s time for us to move on to the new era. It’s been 5 long years.

      We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
