At Marcon 40, Nitram and I splurged on two pieces of art.
The first is a 11x15 that's titled "Thomas and the Dragons".
What's really nice is we got it signed by the artist, Susan VanCamp! I love the little Cat & Dragon heads she did on the side
The next one is HUGE 17x31. I got it for only $45 at the Silent Auction. It's called "ThunderStruck" by Ruth Thompson. Unfortunately, not signed.
A little blurry too. Blame WhiteHaven's Camera.
Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

It's a print from the original painting... I think acrylic on canvas, but don't quote me, Flakin

Gorgeous peices. Thomas and the cat is rather cute, but I'm impressed by 'Thunderstruck', it looks wonderful.

The brightness of the colours had me wondering, Lady T. Its a gorgeous piece. Congrats again.
That's the camera's doing again. WhiteHaven was adjusting like crazy.

There's another shot of it, which was totally accidental as WhiteHaven struggled with the settings on his camera. It turned out to be an amazing shot, which I'll post in a sec.

Wholly unphotoshopped, I swear! The one thing I love about my digital is that I can go manual and adjust all the exposures and such manually. That was with simulated 200-speed film and a hella long exposure, along with some custom color-balancing that I'd left on from another shot and forgot about. The room's overall lighting helped too, as you can see from the slight orange cast to the earlier shot. In hindsight, I shoulda played with the color balance again, as there's not a trace of red coloration in the entire actual image.

That's one hell of a blue dragon there, he's so how he lit the town on fire
nice trick with the digital camera there White Haven, and again, simply gorgeous Tevar. I am envious of the acquisitions.

Now I just have to scrape up the $55 to get the Dragon framed, since it's an odd size. The cat fits a 11x15, no problem.
