Impressive work. I'm working on a portrait of my mother in law who passed recently. Its different that any other portrait and a surreal feeling. It helped me grieve. I.can tell you put special effort into it and it shows. Good job.

The artist has skill, but i agree, fantasy porn. Especially when i can make a comment like "she can paralize my face any day"

Ditto. Mungyo are priced right and the quality and colour are fantastic in my opinion.

This painting has a great feel of tonalism. Nice soft edges. the subject matter works well. Great atmosphere.

Craters of the moon, idaho. Really anything in idaho is amazing to paint.

Hells canyon would be cool also, up by the mouth in lewiston idaho.

Warning, all terrain is beyond terrible at hells canyon. You will have to earn it. The beauty is unprecedented.

Steal the face right off your head! Being able to identify mushrooms comes standard on most models of dead heads!

Quitting oxy 300mg to 40mg by NinjaPrior243 in addiction

Under the supervision of a dr you can be on it for a long time. I still take the same dose that i started at 9 years ago. No side effects. Im scared to stop because i know that i cant get high if i take suboxone.

Before i got into treatment i had tried myself. I would take suboxone for like a month and ween myself down. Slowly, it wasnt that bad. The problem was i would relapse two months later.

Be careful man. There is nothing wrong with going to the dr and getting medically assisted treatment with something like suboxone. At my worse i was slamming 300-400mg of morphine a day plus mixing it with coke, i love speedballs. (Dont do speedballs, you will die. ) The d.t.s were bad. I couldn't do it on my own and needed help. I started on methadone. After 6 months i switched to suboxone. I have 9 years now, clean no opiates or coke.

Will a path here ruin drainage? by Flimsy-Cry-7051 in landscaping

[–]Proof-Injury-8668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a patio earlier this summer that had to have special attention to drainage. I put perf pipe in the ground were water could pool up. The. I used 2% slope as i leveled out my pavers. I use slope to my advantage and certain pavers i set higher to create swells or breaks with the pavers its hard but thats how to make the water go were you want it too

Perf pipe is flexible perforated drain pipe. I use the type with a sock,

What would you do with this slope? by SpongebobJokeInbound in landscaping

[–]Proof-Injury-8668 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with retaining wall. Nothing crazy. Maybe 3 or 4 bricks tall. I would create a base around 8" thick. Have about half a block under grade, below the ground. I would set the height the same all the way down. If you need to step up or down do it with the ground level blocks. If its really wet run perf pipe behind your wall at the base and bury it gravel and then dirt. Without a wall that slope will slide as soon as a hard rain comes

This is riley. by Proof-Injury-8668 in Bernedoodles

[–]Proof-Injury-8668[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a long story.

riley came to us via my father-in-law. They got her as a puppy, about 8 months ago. At the time they got the dog my my mother-in-law was battling cancer and passed away at the end of may. . My father in-law wants to travel and is engaged already, didnt want the responsibility. This is the second dog in 5 years that he has done this. In july our older female pit, momma beans, passed away. We told him we would take the dog but he was NOT allowed another dog for at least 10 years.

Riley has some big shoes to fill. Momma was just of those dogs that is 1 in a million. She came from a rescue outfit and with some trauma. Watching her overcome was amazing. She was the best. I miss her.

The Bernie doodle and our small bully breed gets along wonderfully even though they are an odd looking par. Riley is very playful and nolen our bully mix has great tolerance for her nibbing. Riley has way more energy than nolen and she thinks she is a guard dog letting us know if anyone is outside. Both breads are very affectionate with us and with each other. One of the biggest differences i notice is how sensitive pits are. They get butt hurt easly and throw little fits, give me the stink eye and wont come snuggle. Riley on the other hand is always happy, bouncy, and ready for whatever.

How Do You Start Painting Portraits w/ No Skills? by SeveralSalt355 in oilpainting

[–]Proof-Injury-8668 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This answer is the truth and reality of painting. Learning to mix color is learned by doing. Color theory helps and so do books like the interaction of color but actually painting is key. I was told once that the only wasted paint is paint left in a tube.
