Ever paint any naked ladies, Harley? Your pictures are good, but I can't fap to them.

Hey Guys,
It was great learning how to post pictures.
Thank you for letting me share some of my private photos. I've been painting for 2 years now and find it
somewhat relaxing at times but obviously, I don't take it seriously.

Harley, what's the latest on your liver?

I thought I was familiar with the concept of Meltdown but perhaps I am confused.
Thanking someone is a meltdown?

Any post longer than two sentences is considered a "meltdown" to shizzo. It's his most used and abused stock phrase.

Don't be surprised if I get a "meltdown" response to this post from him.

And, good to have you posting again, Harley. Don't let this thread die. This is the only civilized thread on this board that has gone over two pages.

Harley, what's the latest on your liver?

Dear Saint Anger,
Thank you for asking. The latest is still "pain." It's a hematoma which they said would take 6-8 weeks to heal. It's really put
me in a dark place as I was just in a great groove in terms of diet and training and ready to reach my goal.
I am not used to an injury resulting in chronic pain taking so long to heal. Someone tried to make me feel better by telling me he
had a similar injury and it took him 6 whole weeks before he got back to his normal routine. He even told me that the famous fighter,
Bas Rutten has a YouTube compilation about the Liver Shots he dished out which immobilized quite a few opponents. I won't watch it if
it even exists.
I am trying to eat as little as possible in order to lose some weight which is not going to help my condition but just make me a lighter,
slightly less repulsive version of myself than I am now if I am successful.
Harley

Harley, I am amazed at the difference between your portraits of people and your landscape paintings.

All of your work Is good, but these are phenomenal:

Your 13th painting looks like a picture from a camera!

Dear Pellius,
  My 8th Painting "Brasil", took me about 3 months to paint. It was my first stab at a different style which I
self-titled "Neo-Realism." You see, what's the point of painting if you can't throw around pretentious French sounding
words and talk as if only a few other people can understand you? LOL.
  No, I just wanted to try painting in a style different from the Bob Ross style I started with.
  I then tried a different style "The Cherry Blossom Tree" which no one liked but was a bit harder to do than it might appear.
  I then took a shot at portraits which people seem to respond well to.
  Again, I just started 2 years ago and I don't paint very often. When I do, it's in 4-5 blocks so that I lose myself into the project.

Harley, you could make some serious money from portraits. You clearly have a gift in that genre.

Dear Shizzo,
  Thank you for the compliment that the portrait looks like a "picture from a camera."
  I actually change things from the photo I look at to what actually ends up on the canvas.
  The portrait you mention was inspired by a photo which had me holding a water bottle and was taken outside
the Guggenheim Museum in NYC (oh, oh, I mentioned that I went to a museum- This is going to get me crushed here).
  I also took out the words on my shirt which said "Gracie Humaita Jiu-Jitsu" as I didn't want there to be any attention to
what I was wearing. I also took the liberty of whitening my teeth and took out a few wrinkles in my face.
  Hey, what the heck, right?
Harley

That portrait ranks with the best in the world. Seriously........Harley you are a savant at portraits.

Please continue to do fantastic work.

Dear Shizzo,
  Thanks but I doubt there is any real money in my painting. There are truly trained professionals who have serious
talent upon which they have worked for decades and devoted their lives. I took on painting I guess because I couldn't get
a date. LOL.
  The second portrait is one in which I removed a large wine glass in front of me and took out the entire backdrop of a crowded
restaurant.
  I was going to paint my dog, Bruno but I couldn't emotionally do it.
