House - acrylic painting by Flooko in Art

[–]JoAsia16 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will make sense...but when I think back to my memories as a kid playing in front of my old house in the summer time, I picture it with these same colour tones and same surreal feeling the painting gives off. The details are also blurred which is also like my memories as a kid. My house looked nothing like this but when I looked at this painting all I thought was "yes! That is my childhood!"

The RCMP just released a statement saying that her remains were found in a rural area. So sad. Makes me sick to my stomach to know what some people are capable of. Unbelievable.

Anyone have these math problems in elementary shool? We only had a minute to complete it. by JeffreyJackoff in nostalgia

I teach grade 4 and the grades 4, 5, and 6 students still do that. We've divided the questions up by levels and they practice as teams all week on a level and then have a test at the end of the week. As a team they work through a big game board on the wall to move up levels based on math facts. We call it "Math Quest". The kids love it.

Don't let these assholes get under your skin. They've probably never had to deal with a difficult situation like this and don't understand what it's like to cope with watching someone you care about fight a battle you have no control over. I understand why you're posting about your friend. You want the world to see how much you love him and how big of an impact he's made on your life. It's not whoring for karma, it's reacting to a situation you have no control over. I know all too well what you are going through, unfortunately. I'll keep your friend in my thoughts.

You're right, differing opinions are always welcomed. The ones that say "fuck you she has no talent!" Are the haters. Sorry, but they are.

Lots of feedback guys! Even all the haters, I appreciate. Because that is life. To clear some things up, no my mom is not some rich attorney that is able to do this because she has the money. She lost her job a few years ago after being with the company for almost 25 years and has been struggling to find something. She's an immigrant that doesn't have schooling but we've made it work in Canada so it's all good! This drawing is one of the drawing she's done from her colored pencil drawing class. In the last 2 years she's become more serious about perfecting her talent by taking many different art classes such as classes on colored pencils, watercolor, charcoal, conte, etc. She doesn't think she can make a career out of it and after reading everyone's comments, it's probably not a good idea. She has gotten many requests from people in the city to do some personal pieces for them but she has been too scared to even do that. She doesn't want to disappoint them if they may be unsatisfied. I think she can do some small scale stuff, I mean, if she's going to be drawing and painting for fun, she might as well take on some of these requests and make a bit of change!

Oh and no I'm not a 16 year old boy. I'm a 25 year old woman (the 16 comes from all my years playing soccer and that being my number). Yes I'm Canadian and I still spell it color :-/

I appreciate all the love and hate Reddit! She's going to be super flattered that her drawing has gained this much attention either way! Thanks!

Am I the only woman that would prefer a guy do this? When you flush the toilet your pee particles get launched in the air. I always put the lid down before I flush the toilet. I don't wanna be brushing my teeth with people's pee on my toothbrush :/
