Here is one of my pictures. I make these in Paint. I chose this one because it's pretty good, but not so good I'd feel funny about sharing it.

If you just don't like abstract art then don't look at it.

I was watching iron chef.

I would title it "heartburn".
 
It already has a title: Trophe.

Sorry. To me it tells the story of an Olympic athlete that failed. The torch is their heart and it has burned and blackened with defeat.

I can't see it. When I click on it I get a message saying it contains a kind of information that can't be used. However, I enjoy the title.

This is an impression of Luciano Pavarotti in a sexual aroused state, as seen from the first violinist, right ?

Nice one, though you became very abstract on the "omitting of his head and replace it by furious fire"

edit : i really see what you mean

I still can't see BicycleTree's artwork. Why doesn't it just show up in the thread like Mooses'?

BT's pic is an attachment. Maybe you can't view BMP files. I am attaching it as a jpg, let me know if you can see this one.

Marlon has a point, it does look like Pavarotti after his head exploded.

Evo, you are a genius, even in your current state of hibernation...you know that Hannibal Lecter also passed some time "in a state of hibernation" inbetween Silence of the Lambs and the very last picture : Hannibal ?

I liked this one, except I didn't know it was a dog until I saw the filename! I thought it was a girl with pigtails. :biggrin:

But thanks guys, you're all making me feel much better about my own drawing skills. :smile:

Well, it is interesting that people see in my picture so many different things. Myself, I thought of a flaming medieval siege missile. The proportion of it also reminded me of that Surrealist painting with the castle built on a huge stone hanging in the air (can't find the name).
