"When I'm not building miniature engines I" sorry, you'll have to look.

When I’m not building, I’m boiling water.
Live Steam that is.

Here's some more of my portrait work. I have my granddaughter when she was two years old, my niece's daughter when she was four years old and an old friend from one of our motorcycle trips.

Can't shake the feeling I've seen some of your stuff before. Wonderful stuff.

Threw my ceramics class ashtray out.

It was chipped anyway. And I'd colored outside the lines. And the cigarettes kept falling out. And who smokes nowadays anyways?

Just kidding. Who I am I fooling? I never made an ashtray.

 

[Jeff02]

Only thing that comes to mind is WOW

Apologies for posting what I do on your post. I was not trying to take away from your work in any way.

The work you do is Magnificent!​

 

[cobra428]

George,
You continue to amaze. I didn't mention it before but that is one beautiful cobra you've done. I showed it to the guys at work and they asked "is that a photo of your car?" :bow:

Not a problem Jeff. I always thought that a thread was a good way to get people to join in on something. Unless it's a total hijack, post anything relevant.

The very first drawing, I thought, was a photo of your Rod, not a pencil drawing. In other words, I thought your other hobby was building Hot Rods (my weakness), and you had a photo to of your rod to show us.
Once I saw the other renderings, I realized they were pencil Drawings. I too love to Draw and can tell those who think they can't, "You can...." I've proved it to many in my lifetime. It just takes time....
Absolutely beautiful work....thank you for sharing it with us.

Always liked artwork, good talent you have. Grew up with a brother who painted, while I failed at Etch-a-Sketch. Nice work

 

[dparker]

George: Those are some awsome drawings and really great subjects. I thought I was looking at the real thing (or at least a picture of) when I first looked at your post. Very pleasing to the eyes, and not in the least you have very attractive or cute Grandchildren. You are a man blessed with many talents.

Bump. The newcomers need to see this. It's too remarkable to remain buried in two years of old posts.

I couldn't agree more!

[lazylathe]

Like some others have said, The first one i thought was a photo of your other hobby; car restorations!

th_confused0052 But it is a pencil drawing!!!!! :bow: :bow:

Excellent work George!
An amazing collection of art!

Is it any wonder that your models look so good? It seems that talent runs strong in your genes and look forward to many more of things that you do

Wow, George, I'm blown away. How many hours does it take to complete some of these pieces of art?

Think I commented once before about this but I'm having you draw up my next tattoo. Love the old farm equipment, but the reflections of the engine in the car's paint is very cool.

 

[moanaman]

Thank you Orrin for bringing this up to the top.

George we have a saying in this country as jack of all trades master of none, that is where I fit. I can do most things except anything arty, and most of what I do works but not things of beauty.

I proclaimed you a Master of machining with your 5 speed gear box. Now seems as though you are a Master of everything.

I appreciate what you have produced as has most people on this forum and also many out side of it I guess. May you live a very long time and keep producing these are pieces of great beauty.

Thanks MASTER George B.

 

[rustyknife]

That's very awesome! I too thought the first picture was of a real truck. The reflections are almost perfect, It's very clear that you see the world differently then most and it aides you into some very fine art work.

Very impressive.

Regards,
Eric

I'm not exactly a newcomer but still I haven't seen this thread. Very nice work Mr. George. I have also been an artist for many years and appreciate the work and attention to detail that went into these. I do portraits in pencil and and watercolor plein air. I won't steal your thread with examples. My avatar is one portrait of a Nez Perce Native American I did some time ago, naturally it looks much better full size.

One thing that slowed me down after a while and maybe this has happened to you. One day I woke up and everything was blurry. I rushed to the eye doctor and he told me that I had dry eye, from staring too intently at the drawings and paintings as I was doing them. I'm careful anymore to blink more often to keep that from happening again. It took a little time to clear up.
