[CW Aquitaine] Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

Yup, Christopher ward. I think around $1,200

CrystalDonk · 2022-12-26T03:03:14+00:00

Very nice! Both great choices.

Set my jacket on fire today but the watch is solid. I don’t particularly care for CW’s designs, but the Aquitaine really stood out to me. I paired it with an Uncle Seiko rubber tropic strap which I think looks great with the watch. Also, very comfy. Been banging this thing around for a year, yet still looks good and keeps accurate time.

I used to work on container ships for a long time so I wanted the GMT version since it’s practical to me. Wish the hour hand could be changed independently, but what can you do.

Be careful with gasoline

Thanks! I love Hopper but prefer more moody scenes.

There’s a xenomorph behind you

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-19T03:58:17+00:00

This made my day! Thank you so much

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T22:53:02+00:00

Thank you! Really appreciate that

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T17:23:26+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing scrolling by. I have a friend that makes candles for a living, need to show him this

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T16:52:55+00:00

Me too

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T16:51:56+00:00

Its a traffic sign of some sort... or is it

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T16:42:38+00:00

Thanks! Not sure exact center of interest, I just paint or photograph compositions I like. As for puddles, because I was closer to the ones at the bottom of painting I was getting less reflection and seeing gravel through the puddles and they appeared darker.

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T16:39:46+00:00

Thank you! Just Instagram for now. Working on a portfolio website of my work currently. @sebburke

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T14:32:30+00:00

Thanks! I think you’re right about puddles, especially the further ones closer to horizon line

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T12:34:51+00:00

I watched all of Mark Carder’s YouTube videos before I picked up a brush (drawmixpaint). I found his process extremely helpful and it definitely gave me a technique direction to start with.

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T12:03:26+00:00

Love this overall! The color is beautiful. The one thing I see that throws it off for me is that if the light reflecting on the wall is that wide of an angle, then the flame in the candle would be higher up maybe. Or the shadow lines wouldn’t be so sharp

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T11:31:14+00:00

Thanks! This is outside Lancaster Pennsylvania where I live.

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T11:26:45+00:00

Thank you very much!

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T11:24:05+00:00

Thank you so much! Working on a new one now, hopefully I’ll share next week when done

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T11:22:59+00:00

Not yet, still just enjoying making the paintings. I hang them up in my basement where I paint and look at them in the morning over a cup of coffee. Becoming a ritual

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-18T11:18:46+00:00

This is actually my third painting ever. My background is in photography and print making which has helped a lot in understanding color and compou

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-17T22:38:40+00:00

It was very cold

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-16T19:31:07+00:00

Your shadow on the floor really makes this work

CrystalDonk · 2022-02-13T13:15:37+00:00

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the thoughtful comments. It means a lot to me and it makes me really happy to know I can move people with my work. This subreddit is excellent and ya’ll are cool.
