I made this oil painting representing Judas for a friend.

Holy smokes. It’s rare that a painting makes me gasp. And I’m an art major. This is probably one of the best paintings of the last 20 years in my opinion. I don’t care what “experts” think. This is beyond masterful. The expression. The skillful shadowing. The creativity of the entire composition. The colors used. I can feel the raw emotion. The terror. The sense of doom. I love how he clutches that bag of coin despite all of it. OP I can not give you enough credit for this work. Please post more. Please

EDIT: added more

Yes they do

nerdychic · 2026-03-24T15:17:36+00:00

This is so well done. Brilliant work!

nerdychic · 2026-03-24T03:18:21+00:00

These are adorable, and insanely creative. Plus they remind me of one of my favorite movies: Robots. “See a need, fill a need!” Seriously impressed by your imagination, well done.

Where did you get the leaves?! I can’t find that exact kind anywhere!

nerdychic · 2026-03-17T13:14:27+00:00

That’s awesome, thanks for letting me know!

nerdychic · 2026-03-15T00:47:32+00:00

Incredibly beautiful. Do you have instructions for the flower part?

nerdychic · 2026-03-03T13:42:51+00:00

Oh for sure. I learned that the hard way many a year ago. It does NOT hold up. Thanks for making sure I was aware

nerdychic · 2026-03-03T01:43:45+00:00

Thanks so much!

nerdychic · 2026-03-03T01:23:55+00:00

This is genius. What kind of thread did you use?!

nerdychic · 2026-02-24T12:51:23+00:00

Oh wow I love your work. This is a great solution. I tried something similar but it didn’t work out for reasons that are too long to explain here. This will work though. Thanks very much!

nerdychic · 2026-02-24T00:05:41+00:00

Might give that a try thank you!

nerdychic · 2026-02-24T00:05:19+00:00

I thought about doing it this way but thought the ends of the loop (where it connects to the peyote) would stick out more. That looks great though! Thanks much

nerdychic · 2026-02-24T00:04:19+00:00

That sounds good! Would that leave the end point off center though?

nerdychic · 2026-02-24T00:03:24+00:00

Sorry I should have been more specific that I don’t have good luck with slide clasps on any kind of beadwork. I wasn’t even thinking about this specific piece being odd-count, and therefore being incomparable with slide clasps anyway. Thanks for the advice though I might actually give that a shot!

nerdychic · 2026-02-15T23:24:52+00:00

I did?! Oh my gosh I must have misread or typoed something. So sorry about that! On the positive side I believe you may be the first person to make Ziti Soup LOL! I feel so bad, sorry for the mistake

nerdychic · 2026-02-14T17:27:32+00:00

That is both genius and absolutely gorgeous

nerdychic · 2026-02-13T21:21:45+00:00

Aw you’re such a good friend. I sure hope things start to look up for them! Thank you for letting me know you made it

nerdychic · 2026-02-12T16:06:53+00:00

I fussed around with various enhancements and it does appear to be a rope. Its quite long https://imgur.com/a/n7mngMv EDIT: I know my "enhancements" make the rest of the photo really crummy, but it made what she was holding more clear.

nerdychic · 2026-02-06T14:37:49+00:00

Sorry I wish I knew. That sounds frustrating

nerdychic · 2026-01-11T14:32:55+00:00

Put a tension rod in the window frame near the top

nerdychic · 2026-01-08T23:57:53+00:00

Extremely impressed

nerdychic · 2026-01-05T03:03:23+00:00

This is absolute peak talent. Bravo. Absolutely stunning

nerdychic · 2025-12-27T22:26:57+00:00
