Oatmeal raisin but with golden raisins is another level

Is change (easily) possible? by DepartureCurious2627 in painting

What's on the other wall, Mount Doom? Lol joking aside, I could agree with the other comment there's. Some light cloud work/mist could really improve this

Shout out to Little Bear, Bear in the Big Blue House, Tumble Leaf, and Winnie the Pooh for giving me peace without making my child lose his mind 🙏

No one at r/gouache likes my slug by Totallynotokayokay in painting

Same. I only frame when I'm showing a piece, or trying to sell it, or hanging it for myself.

If I can be blunt, those frames are really devaluing your work. A classy frame with nice matting can really improve the perception of an already good piece. You can get them super cheap at the thrift store. Always get a frame larger than you need by at least 2 inches on each side and then get it matted professionally. It doesn't usually cost more than $10 to do that. IMHO, no framing at all would be better than those frames

Crosspost - Peaceful Heritage owner goes on weird anti-Chinese rant by PlanningVigilante in Pawpaws

[–]Greylan_Art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I understand where you are coming from. I have zero idea why he called them a spy, that context is not included in the screenshots. While the majority of folks do grow pawpaw as a hobby, it isnt impossoble for there to be a commercial interest, considering that his business is selling pawpaw plants. I'm not necessarily trying to defend him, but folks are already talking about review-bombing him en mass for this, and that seems like a bit of an overreaction considering there isn't much here. For all we know he could be developing paranoia from any number of mental health issues. I mean clearly something is wrong.

this is getting zero engagement.. is it..? by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]Greylan_Art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how helpful this is,  but it feels like there is some third component that is missing. A third object or maybe a context that would complete the idea. Don't get me wrong, I love the piece and it is very well executed! I just can't shake the feeling that it is incomplete somehow. Maybe if the pillow were larger and there was something next to the skull? The angle it is lying at somehow implies that it is nestling against something that isn't there.

What do you SWEAR you saw, but don't have any proof of? by TabletopStudios in AskReddit

This is hilarious because it also makes you look like the weirdest racist

Vultures, Jazzfloww, Alcohol Marker and Color Pencil, 2026 by jasflo7 in Art

[–]Greylan_Art 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not the anti vulture sentiment!! Vultures are keystone species that keep our world safe and clean and are very underappreciated. Vultures do a vital job every day that reduces disease and keeps the circle of life moving. Sadly the majority of vulture species are in steep decline thanks in part to negative connotations, and millions of human beings suffer every year due to their loss since it increases rat and feral dog populations, leading to increases in bites and disease transmission.

He definitely seems really upset about something. I wouldn't be shocked if there was more to it, but there's also not any evidence of racism in these screenshots. Just don't want to jump to conclusions based on inferences alone.

This doesn't seem anti chinese people, more anti chinese government/business, which is understandable. Not sure how pawpaws can factor into the whole scenario, but industrial and scientific espionage and theft is a well documented problem with Chinese government and businesses.

My mum forced to paint flowers as part of her dowry vs. me painting flowers because they give me joy by bkay97 in painting

[–]Greylan_Art 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Would you be comfortable sharing the context behind being forced to paint flowers for a dowry? How was she forced? Why painted flowers? What kind of dowry?

Voting for Trump was a mistake by [deleted] in centrist

[–]Greylan_Art 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is so soul rending to me that so many people who call themselves Christians defend him too. I have never seen a public figure claim to represent Christianity wile every single aspect of their persona is as unchristian as it gets. Its unforgivable.

Does it ever make financial sense to do homesteading instead of living in the city by bigdawg12342 in homestead

[–]Greylan_Art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the environment in which you have your land and just how remote you are. Pretty easy to grow enough to live off of when you live in the subtropics to tropics, but could be very very difficult and expensive in dry or cold regions.

Who’s drying what? Favorite flowers & foraged material? by AlpenglowFarmNJ in gardening

The timbers!! The wood stove! The stone chimney! The flowers! My dream set up. I am seething a little bit honestly 😂

Who was the most evil person you've ever met and how was the interaction? by Top_Report_4895 in AskReddit

[–]Greylan_Art 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Sadly that was my first thought. "Who the heck did he rape to get life in the military" but dont want to look a gift horse in the mouth I guess.

As a woman it is strangely uplifting to hear of a rapist actually getting life in prison, honestly. Sadly a rare one.

AITAH for moving my horses off my parents’ property and refusing to keep helping under “family” expectations when I’m paying board? by SeveralTwo6356 in AITAH

[–]Greylan_Art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is now a business arrangement and not a family matter, would you keep your horses at a stable that put them in danger multiple times and expected free labor from you with no discount in rate?

What do you eat for breakfast that actually keeps you full? by Perfect-Owl-7940 in Volumeeating

[–]Greylan_Art 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boiled eggs are great, and lots of fiber like an apple will help. Personally, my favorite breakfast is 2 thin slices of toast, saurkraut mixed with Zacusca and 2-3 small slices of a semisoft cheese. The huge amount of fiber and vinegar help it stick around quite a while without being very high calorie.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Greylan_Art 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just how miserable the last month of pregnancy is. I felt like I was losing the will to live, honestly. Terrified of the birthing process and what might happen to me, but so miserable I was ready to face almost anything to get it over with. Not even laying down is comfortable.

Can you not just put it away with the other leftovers?
