Dialogues in Paradise (one)by Can Xue. The tree was full of tiny bells. When the bells sparkled, they jingled in splendor. I moved my left toe and heard the wind outside the door blowing away somebody's garbage can. It is always the god-damned south wind.

I always loved the wide-eyed screaming horror of Elsa’s original Bride, but for mine I thought it would be fun if she was instead just very, very, displeased. As soon as her motor-functions kick in, it’s gonna kick off, and Doctors Frank’ and Pretorius are gonna take a very short walk off that very high tower. On the set of the original movie, attached to one of the columns, you can see a big wheel that’s used to crank open the skylight. I thought it might be interesting to incorporate this, symbolically, as a sort of halo, like the kind of thing you see in stained glass windows and old religious art, and to give the scene an additional sixth day creation kinda vibe. Also, whilst working on this, every time I thought of the name “Pretorius”, I would involuntarily sing it in my head to the tune of, “No, No, Notorious”

A few stars and moon highlights to add.

Skylight from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. The light shrank back into two dots. A dark shadow brushed by, a clumsy night bird that shrieked and swooped toward the skylight, its huge wings tapping the roof fiercely, echoing like thunder.

Always surround yourself with passionate people. You can learn a lot from them. And draw something special for them. For my brother who loves cars

Meanwhile, in a shark infested alternate reality...

Extreme view of businessman walking.

The hair needs some work before I can say that this is finished. It's the only part that I'm not happy with. Edit: I fixed the hair but made the face worse, and ended up ruining the painting. So. There you go.

This was inspired by my passion for art. Art is truly my favorite thing to do in my free time. I love how creative you can be with it and you can create anything with art.

I'm starting to learn how to paint with watercolors. This is my first picture. I wish I did the moon better, but I'm happy with how it came out otherwise.

...made of pumpkin. Done with watercolours, coloured pencil and some details in gel pen on mixed media paper.

Bright , colorful overlapping layers of shapes and linework done in watercolor and wax pastel

I wanted a fierce pose and landed on a good side-eye. Used really strong colors and a digital oil application

All yellow, apart from the bits of green. This one was done with gouache, watercolours and coloured pencil.

The Great Pumpkin Carve Chadds Ford Historical Society P.O. Box 27, Chadds Ford, PA 19317 610-388-7376 ~ www.chaddsfordhistory.org I have been carving at this event since 2007. I almost did not participate last year because I was unemployed, and could not afford the entrance fee of $25, but The watercolor artist Andy Smith paid my entrance fee. and my sister paid my gas. Well I am unemployed again, not sure I will have the funds to enter this year. Pray the Good Lord will open the financial door that I will get the money to pay the coast to enter this year. Below are some of the Pumpkins I have carved in the past.

The Ox from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. It came again, butting and bumping against the wooden wall, making a loud noise. https://www.instagram.com/p/CikQ5dauStn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Willow charcoal with soft pastel on 120 GM grey paper. Did this in about 15 minutes during an art class I was giving as a demonstration of cutting loose instead of always trying to maintain control.

Still unfinished. I keep painting on my sketch pad and not watercolour paper, which means the paper warps when drying. Hence the face being slightly wobbly.

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

Dream of the Yellow Chrysanthemum from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. I was hiding behind the window aiming my air gun at a squirrel on a roof in the distance. I had been taking aim for two hours. But when I finally shot, full of confidence, the steel pellet zinged right into Old Jiang's arm. God knows why I lost my mind at the crucial moment, I was born with the impulsive personality. Immediately he jumped up and dashed into the room, shouting, "Murder! Murder!" I was totally embarrassed.

My dietary preferences/inclinations in a nutshell, as the title implies!

Watercolored with colored pencils C:

mixed media in watercolor sketchbook

just a little idea I had of a talking magical heart wand for a candy princess

I tried to capturing thinking poses in real time. I'm way to slow :-)

I've got a fair way to go with this one, but I'm happy with how it's going.

Another colored pencil drawing I made for my niece. She drew an orange heart on it.This was before I did the Rainbow Dash one, I feel I really improved.
