I dont know if anyone else has noticed it but it seems to have been a bit glum around here recently. Perhaps its the lack of humour that usually goes with C.J that has been lacking? .

But anyhow to liven things up and get a bit of participation going on I propose a painting competition. Using 'Paint' on you pooter (nowt else, no p'shop) paint us a picture to brighten up our day. Anything goes, from aardvarks to zenon headlamps,..whatever.

I'll kick is off...

A pweety house.

And yes ive been drinking.

Nice idea Ross

Tropical Beach

Nice one Jane, very arty

How do you change bmp files to jpg files???

Save the picture, when you select 'save as' you can drop down the bitmap box and select jpeg.

You are psyic....we have somthing launching on Monday for this very topic

Thanks Ross, Hey, wait a minute! Look over there! It's Kylie Minogue! :eek:

i think Kylie needs a shave

Called, 'Seriously, it's about the easiest thing you can do with Paint'

ok , I'm not the greatest artist ..........

Oh , I give up !!

Well, here's my feeble attempt.

And before you criticise me all, at least I'm a real artist. I dont use straight lines or anything. It's all freehand drawn

Oh, the first who says it reminds them of what my lil' motor looks like post 27th December gets a right :whip: :smash: :smashfrea :cussing: :chairs:, ok?

Xav, it reminds me of .......um...... . never mind

Much better than anything I could draw freehand !

Hmm. always wondered how similar "lime yellow" is to egg-yoke yellow.

A subtle difference I see

My wheels aren't (quite) as dirty as that

Heres me in my furby, i think i got the aerodynamics spot on!

I so luuuuurve that beesting ariel. Looks like one of those noddy RC cars with the lil' blob on the end.

I have to admire your skills in accurately reproducing the smog-effect too
