Some thing that many people do not know about me, other then family and close friends, is that I love to paint.

 

Inspiration comes from artists such as Walter Kandinsky or Joan Miro, or even publications such as Metropolitan Home.

 

Sure, I would love to paint for a living, but I know that I cannot compete with a true Artist.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d66/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d68/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d69/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d71/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d72/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d75/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d76/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d77/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpghttp://media-files.gather.com/images/d79/d930/d743/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

could you post some of your paintings so we can see them. Please.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 4:28pm UTC
They are attached to this article.
William M. Oct 10, 2006, 4:30pm UTC
Have some expert look at them. It is possible you have more talent than you think.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 4:42pm UTC
I would be embarrassed by my yard sale frames.
Christine " DogsRCool " K. Oct 10, 2006, 5:02pm UTC
Shannon your paintings are great!! i love the second one..:) you have talent
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 5:15pm UTC
Thank you Christine.
Auntie Smedley Oct 10, 2006, 8:08pm UTC
At least she has one.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 8:16pm UTC
Auntie ?????

☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 8:20pm UTC
Come on out, Auntie. I won't hurt you (using my cat coaxing voice).


I wondered what you meant by your last comment? That wasn't a *bash* of anyone, was it?
Auntie Smedley Oct 10, 2006, 8:31pm UTC
Nah. Couldn't be. I'd never do sumthin' like that...

My comment was in response to Ms. hegoat's comment "Don't quit your day job".

Which has conveniently magically disappeared.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 8:41pm UTC
Audrey wrote that? And here I was trying to be civil to the b****.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 8:43pm UTC
Oops, you meant that Jezebel Hating Purple Wearer. I see it in my email. Guess he was afraid of divine retribution.
Auntie Smedley Oct 10, 2006, 8:45pm UTC
Goodness, no, not Audrey! That wierd bible thumping purple robe wearing jezebel certainlythehegoat... um... thing.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 8:49pm UTC
LOL

I slapped myself in the forehead for that one. I should have recognized when you said "hegoat" who it was.
Auntie Smedley Oct 10, 2006, 9:06pm UTC
It was an odd comment to make on your artwork. Have you had run-ins with this person before?
Marie L. Oct 10, 2006, 9:21pm UTC
Shannon, I love your work. I paint abstract too, but my are not nearly as nice as yours. You have talent for sure. I just enjoy painting. Very nice work.
Hilary O. Oct 10, 2006, 9:31pm UTC
I love art, although abstract art is not my favorite. But I really like 3,4, and 9. Keep up the good work, and I think you should talk to a professional, may be you could have a future in art. In my non- professional opinion I think it is quite good.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 9:35pm UTC
Auntie- not really. Just me makin' a snide remark now and again on his prophets of doom "articles". Suppose he could have taken offense. I am a jezebel WHORE after all.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 9:38pm UTC
Thank you Marie/Hilary. It really means a lot to me. More than you could even imagine :)
Ted Halloran Oct 10, 2006, 9:41pm UTC
Personally I prefer the company of artistic, dog lovin', quality cooking jezebels.

Even though I gave up smoking some years ago I still think you get a better class of people in the smoking section.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 9:46pm UTC
LOL Ted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What makes you say that? (Of course I agree).
Auntie Smedley Oct 10, 2006, 10:23pm UTC
P.S. I liked #2 & #7 best.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 10, 2006, 10:34pm UTC
It's funny, every time someone mentions which one they like I go look at it again. Not like I haven't been staring at these things for years.
Andy Bennett Oct 10, 2006, 11:07pm UTC
Very good stuff!
amanda w. Oct 11, 2006, 11:26am UTC
Wow, I can't even draw a stick figure. I'm impressed and think you shouold get your work out there!
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Oct 11, 2006, 12:19pm UTC
Thank you, Amanda. Maybe someday.....
Bob W. Oct 13, 2006, 1:24pm UTC
Looks even better in person
Marianne R. Dec 9, 2007, 8:42am UTC
Nice work Shannon. You have quite a talent!

This comment and rating of your older gather content was an idea Steve the Legend had on how to give a Christmas gift to our Gather connections. He recently posted an article with the suggestion of looking at content from before we were connected. You are the 9th connection I have done this with so far and you have a ton of content here, lol! Here's hoping you have an excellent holiday Shannon!

HA! You once upon a time DID do a photo essay about your art work!! Glad you went back and posted it to my group so I didn't miss it. I'm going to look at the pictures now. I'm going to have to go back through all your old stuff from before we were connected and read it all and comment.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Feb 6, 2008, 9:27am UTC
Hey Marianne! I was here and responded back to you but it looks like that comment vanished.

I will try to keep up, Vic! And thanks for checking it out.
Karolyn Q. Feb 11, 2008, 2:17pm UTC
I love your paintings! You are very talented.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jun 18, 2008, 9:44pm UTC
Thanks, Kar!

I found it... It looks good...I have not yet done abstract art... I actually did one and my sister said."are you going to finish it?".. what do you mean, it's done! so recently, I took that painting and made it into a collage of flowers. You should continue to paint... leave a canvas or paper out and everytime you walk by it..add a little to it. Thanks for sharing your art. I appreciate viewing and seeing your talent.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Jul 21, 2009, 3:34pm UTC
My next one up is an abstract of a vase of flowers.
d d. Jul 21, 2009, 3:43pm UTC
oh, I want to see this one!... I'm going to take a pic of the abstract one that i changed to flowers...I guess I should have done a before and after pic.... I'll let you know when it's up.
