What do you do for a hobby? I paint.

[HOTROCKS]

Besides exercise , what do you do to help you keep from going insane ?

I've been painting oils for a very long time and here is one I've just completed.
I've really not made up my mine if it get my feelings across .
I'm never satisfied with them after their done.
At the time I painted this one , I was thinking about a hidden forest pond at "near dusk".
Hence "Emerald Pond at Dusk".
It is very textured with oils.
I used a pallet knife and a fan brush.
Nothing else.
Oh! but I did paint the canvas with black and let dry before I painted the work.

[IRON37]

I like it. Ive always wanted to learn how to oil paint, and use pastels. I especially like how the reflections look. I can never seem to get those right .

Ive been trying to learn how to do digital art the last week or two with gimp & paint.net. Made this today (hint: theres a face, its not a bird nest lol) :wackit:

I dont have any real "hobbies"

I work out play video games and watch movies. Very boring

I don't have any artistic talent so I lift weights, read about 2 books a week and go to the bar on weekends.

i like to read, no where close to your pace, but i do some reading

I'm getting right into COD MW2 online right now. I also read a lot and write too. I don't drink anymore but go out for meals or the cinema at weekends with my wife. I've also got a 14 month old nephew so I try and see him a couple of times a week as he's funny as hell. I'm trying to get my 6 y/o neice into hill walking but she's not for having it!

[cowboytroy]

i work 7 days a week in my 3 companies and just took up scuba diving. I'm really loving it. Peace a quiet. Cell phone dont work. No one asking me questions. Weightlessness. I've never had a hobby simply cause i dont have time, but i'm gonna make time for this one.

Along with lifting and reading like a mofo, I also like going to movies, I just seen Resident Evil 4 and The Town, I liked both of them but The Town no doubt will get a number Oscar nominations...very good movie.

Remodeling the house (for the past 4 years) and going to school take up most of my free time.

stunt riding for crew up here, but without bike atm kinda sucks , can't keep up with it as much as needed - still do it here n there at the dragway in between cars n what not for crowd. Just bought a new suv, so no money for bike for bit .

Winter coming I will be going to NH for rallying , absolute blast.

Honestly now it's just school , so much time , but worth it.

Although I'm not addicted as much as I used to be, I enjoy CGI design, animation design and creating games using Maya, 3DS Max, Zbrush, Adobe Director 3D and Adobe Flash. I would love to learn to write games for the PS or XBox, but I didn't pursue it enuff to that advanced level.
