Now this is a wonderful form of art!!!! ;)


Received this in an email from a friend!
Now these are beautifully painted trucks!

Very talented people!

Think you will like it!

THE GERMAN ARTISTS ARE AT IT AGAIN. 

Here  are 7 pictures of European trucks whose trailers are decorated to look like the sides are missing and the products they are hauling  are painted on the sides and back.
The first one is  of a  bottle of beer and looks so real, like it is coming out the  side  of the trailer..


The  second is of canvas tote bag.


The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty..   


The fourth is of another truck with the windshield facing the back and there has been a driver painted in the driver's seat looking back  over his shoulder to appear like he is driving backwards. (Now this one is just plain scary, even when the German reads  'On the  wrong way?') 


The fifth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it.


The sixth one is of a bookshelf with books lined up in it and a post-it-note with an advertisement on it, probably for the  company  that sells the books.


The  last one is for Pringles-Hot & Spicy. The 'inside' of the trailer has the appearance of having been through a fire.


Chinese Proverb:
'When someone shares something of value with you, and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others!
 

So I did!!!

Hope you like them!

aLtEReD oZ The Perfect "Wizard of Oz"? I think so!

Hi all!

CELEBRATE OZ - aLtEReD oZ 2013


Here is what I did!
It is not the good, but you have to remember not really and painter still learning.
Lesson I learned this time?
Easy, stop trying to fix it!  I swear it looked better before!
Almost wasn't going to post it!
But figured it was done in fun so why not!



Okay, can you tell I like Doctor Who!!
He would make the perfect Wizard of Oz!

I know I posted this a little late, 
I hope you like it, you never know what you can do until you try!
I certainly will keep trying, painting is fun!

Some of the things that I love!!!

I love things that are unique and that make me smile!
This I got from my boyfriend about 6 years ago.
I love animals and it holds coats!!!!


This I saw in a second hand shop and thought was just to cute!
 (Plus it reminds me of me cats and fish bowls, and shows that they are not the only ones who like them)
I got this about 15 years ago.


First time I saw this and fell in love with it when I was about 13 years old.
I was raised by my grandparents and my grandmother brought it home one day.
When she passed my grandfather remembered how much I loved this picture and he gave it to me.


This is one I received from my mother about 18 years ago, 
we both had a love of animals, and big cats. 


Can't remember how I got this one but I have had it over 15 years.
Who doesn't like kittens sleeping. 


Now these two are paintings done by a woman years ago,
they were given to me by her children when the woman's husband died almost 20 years ago.
Still have there name in my files.  If I ever parted with them or died I would like them to go back to her family if they want them.  There was a third but my ex had it and he died before I was able to get it back.
I still hope to find it and put it back with these.
Been offered money for both but the tiger everyone who sees it wants it.  ;)
It is about 3 feet by 3 feet.


This one makes me think of more peaceful times.
The third one was of a pair of lions, male and female.


This one second hand store again!
Had it is my bathroom.
When I decide to convert dining room into my computer/ craft room,
I decided I wanted to put it above my aquarium  
Will do it when I find away to make sure it doesn't fall.
;)


 And yes they are Webkins above it, I have over 20, sorry lost count and I have at least 7 to register still. 
(they are such cute stuffed animals and the online games are great for kids)

This cat is needle point I received from a friend for Christmas about 6 years ago.


 This my cousin in Arizona made and gave to me.
This first is light behind it.


and without light.


This I also got from my cousin, bought I believe she bought here from a store that sold art like this.


 This was my best friend's mother's, 
when she passed (about 20 years ago) it was given to me to remember her, she knew I loved cats.


 As you can see my tastes very!

That is true about book, movies and music.

I do have one collection to show you one day,
It is a collection of book marks.
To me they are a perfect gift.  When some goes out of the country or even another town, bookmarks are a nice Souvenir, not expensive and doesn't take up a lot of room.
;~)

Well hope you like the things I love! 
What kind of things do you love?

==============================
Update:  I made a mistake on the last one,  I got it from a different best friend, (I will call this one my new best friend) but it was about 3 yrs ago.  The piece I was Thinking about that I received was of a cat figurine also but you place on a bowl or ledge (I like fish bowl) so it looks like it is watching the fish.  I do not get to see this best friend (I will call her my old best friend but always my best friend) very often because she moved away a few years ago.
