I found this whilst on a dog walk .  I stole it. I have since drawn it in graphite. Sylvia Evans on 13/12/2022 07:00:14 I can not believe it... Till now I thought I'm the only weird man who loves skulls ;) I'm mainly listening to metal music, rock etc., but also good pop, or instrumental music, but you know, the main stream is rock... I'm motorbiker too (in my mind now), as I have not bike anymore ;) Skulls, rock style etc is deeply in my blood veins  ;) I have a goat rag on the floor in my painting studio spot, and the only thing missing is the goat skull on the wall ;) I've been looking for it, but most commonly there are sheep skulls instead available. I've found nice goat skull, with great looking horns, but it was over a £100, and I could not afford it. So this is the plan for next year - to compliment my studio wall with such an interesting skull  ;) For now I have the silver made skull on my bolo tie ;) I love your idea Carol with your rat skull, I never knew it can be painted to customise it... I'm interested to see your final effect!  Sylvia - what a finding! This skull looks great, and I wouldn't be any different when facing it on the field - I'd take it home too! (saving money, lol) :)

As we are talking skulls I have a part red deer skull complete with a set of antlers in my garage , not allowed it in the house.  I had three set of antlers but use them to make walking stick a few years ago . I will look it out and add the photo .

A walking stick Paul? Wow! I never would thought of using antlers to make it. I'm fan of extraordinary walking sticks, lol... I'm dreaming to get such a stick, lol ;) I have an elderly passenger that's boarding on my bus sometimes, and he's always carry some interesting stick with him! Different designes, etc. Obviously he got my attention, and I had a chance to ask him (he's a regular passenger) how come he's got multiple interesting sticks? He used to make them! Yes, I did ask him that I'm more than happy to buy one if I can, and he did promise to have a look for me, but time is passing by, and he didn't get back to his promise ever since. I saw some YouTube videos of somebody who's carving amazing sticks in the wood... I'm fancy to have one for sure ;) Can't wait for your pictures Paul  ;)

The graphite skull is my find and the coloured one is the one I did with Keith Bowen.

Well done Sylvia, great exercise to draw the skull, as it has lots of different curves, so shading and following details need lots of attention  ;)

I suppose this is seasonal.  I'd have to go back many, many years to find it at any Christmas party I attended.  This bloke is an optimist, and he'll need to be very, very patient.

There are lots of wonderful paintings on here, congratulations to all.  Mine is not a recent one but it looks wintry enough ... the steam is from fumaroles (volcanic gases) Bison at Yellowstone park, acrylic on canvas

We have to be optimistic, Lew. A lovely seasonal painting. Cordelia, very nice, I like the silhouette of the bison.

I think we're all a little weird on here, Pog :) Nice to see your sketch and painting, Sylvia. Dynamic colours. It's definitely a rat scull, Alan. I would have loved to have seen your collection. This is what I've done so far. It will be decorated, I'm working out a pattern, small brushes at the ready. I've used metallic gold watercolour, and a mix of yellow and blue.

Thank you, Sylvia. The skull is a quarter of the picture size, I too will be interested to see how this ends up. Pity the bottom half wasn't there, I did look. I've found a few old things when repairing the walls, this was a wow find, for me. Don't think I'll find another.
