The Tortured Artist
sold several moons ago and happily hanging on a gallery owners own wall
Since this is an art blog I will put up a piece of work besides myself. I said I can't do text on paintings, but this is one of those RARE occasions where I did it and was quite happy with the results. I liked the quote and was experimenting with collage and acrylic on poplar wood.According to this test I am normal and have no artistic ability LOL! Somehow I don't believe it, I feel quite the tortured artist at the moment and it ain't 17%. Somehow I can't help but think the impatient blogger might appreciate the acronym fuali-hee! hee!
I am 17% Tortured Artist.
I should be happy. I have a normal life. I have no artistic ability and I am not cursed with the realiztion that everyone is an idiot, because I am one.| Amy Winehouse- Bac... |

I have some great hats and that was is a great one indeed!
p2f1
My going green slogan...
pee twice flush once.
I have one of those alpaca hats. I bought it way too small and stretched it on a coffee can - fits like a charm, now.
My favorite hat to be somebody new? Cowboy hat!
hmbt, if you follow the link at the bottom casey explains how it works. Basically you just copy and paste and add at the end of some of your posts, just change the host name to you. I love seeing people wear hats and especially when they are a little funky :)
Lincoln, I like your green slogan, brought a smile to my face :) Glad you like the photos, I was going for that gauzy Hollywood effect for the self portrait lol!
You look good in the hat.
It seems to be that time of year when there is so much before us we cannot get motivated. But last night I decided to pop into the studio for just a moment...and it sucked me in!
It will all come back to us once the madness is over!
Do you mind if I link to this blog on my blog site?
You are a hat person-be glad!
Who is that singing-love it!
I am 49% tortured artist. It said I have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn't drive my life into a dark abysmal hole were I am alone and against the world.
Perhaps, but I'm getting there... LOL.
not Helga, possibly Hilda O (corry u know, the street), looking back after writing that its not meant as an insult merely a play on words (I must be feeling poorly!)
A good hat is to be worn with intention ( i recently wore a grandpa's hat to a relations wedding, caused a stir - head of the family/next generation (not an intended pun, but a good one nevertheless!)(positive one)
question: did you start off with the text and produced an image from it or image then added the text as a comment?
thorngren, that is amy winehouse and she has a fabulous voice, alas a bit of a tortured personal life.
Paul, Hilda O, ROFLOL, not insulted coz it made me laugh. She was a bloody riot. My mam rolls her eyes when that show comes one and says, "oh here with go with constipation street, I'm off to bed".
I think I have it in my sketchbook, but it all started with the quote and I had done several images based around edith sitwell as a result, but this was the first time I tried to put a quote with an image. will show you my edith sitwell page of my sketchbook in another blog entry.
hum 22% casey, you got to work on it too ;)
Now all we need is some snow...
I think I will take the test. I would LOVE to call myself a tortured artist. Really. I would love to be good at any form of art. Tortured or not.
I rawther like your wordy art...: )
Hugs,
Sue
yep, link me to the viral, anything new I'll 'ave a go
use of text in work adds a further dimension that people who have little visual literacy can access as words are everday things eg papers, books, posters, billboards etc I usually have words banding around and images slide off from there
i luv the hat -too and have one very close in style that i got at our saturday market- it reall is practical -too as it keeps my big ears warm- great collage - i just finished a apiece with photos-pastels and words- ia will post it soon at my MEblog!---love the music-
thanks ckw
Looking forward to seeing it ckw :)
:) Oh well...better get crackin'.
Hah, I'm a tortured artist, but not really, it's just what the test said.
What's the viral link tag? Should I be scared - the tortured artist in me wants to be added to the viral mix. I love mixing it up!
Off to go booth sit in the indie craft fair - where I have to get a little more creative with my attire - it's way too hip for me. Can I borrow your hat?
I have a pink fleece hat like this I wear all winter...I think you look quite lovely.
HAHAHAHAHA! That's a good acronym indeed. I'm feeling a lack of motivation today myself.

By the way it's great to see the real Corrine, without your tongue in the way. - Have fun and art will follow naturally.
I am 28% Tortured Artist.
I know Art, I just don't live it.
You have some artistic ability, but it is probably a hobby and doesn't drive your life into a dark abysmal hole were you alone are against the world.
I think I will go out and eat paint. A cadmium and titanium blamange with smeared lips.
I used to have an Alpaca hat like that.
(It's nice to be back, after a week in the computer hospital!)
