As he hasn't organised a gift for his brother's wedding, I should sit down tomorrow and draw or paint a picture to be framed and given. Reader, I cannot draw. Nor paint. 🤔

This.

What? I'd love to know some more context to this. Was he serious? Do you live in a remote location where it's impossible for him to go to a shop/cash machine in the time it would take you to draw/paint something? Why you and not him, if you can neither draw or paint? So many questions.

BlowDryRat · 19/10/2023 19:07

Please make something terrible, frame it and update us on whether they hang it.

CutesyUserName · 19/10/2023 19:08

I think you should make a picture out of pasta shapes. At least he'd be able to cook and eat the 'art' (once he'd picked the glue off). 😂

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 19/10/2023 19:08

Or you could do your husband up in full make up and do an imprint of his face onto paper.

You’d have to press quite hard, though.

Is he maybe getting you mixed up with his other more Arty wife .😂

Yes!

There's a good episode of Friday Night Dinner where Martin paints Jackie as a 'special' present

EarringsandLipstick · 19/10/2023 19:10

Great answers on this thread!

InSpainTheRain · 19/10/2023 19:11

Please, please do this and post a pic here! Its a hilarious idea, but you DH must be bonkers (or desperate) to come up with that.

Green321 · 19/10/2023 19:11

Errr no.

ApocalypseNowt · 19/10/2023 19:11

Do it!

This reminds me of that uy who tried to settle a bill with a really crap drawing of a spider he'd done. The spider had 7 legs. Grin

BillyNotQuiteNoMates · 19/10/2023 19:12

I’m just following in case the OP returns with the picture she’s painted 😂

Hotchocolatemousse · 19/10/2023 19:12

Ahh God love him, you have a keeper there OP!

MarkWithaC · 19/10/2023 19:13

I came on to say potato-print your arse for him.

Franklin2000 · 19/10/2023 19:13

Tell him you’ll do the drawing if he whittles an ornate frame.

Cumbrianlife · 19/10/2023 19:15

Please please do it. Film his response to the finished article.

AmazingSnakeHead · 19/10/2023 19:16

You should do that thing where you put some paint on a paintbrush and flick it all into a piece of paper. Modern art, innit.

PantsOfDoom · 19/10/2023 19:16

Please pretend to be incredibly proud of your hilarious artwork and insist your DH presents it to them in person

Yes! That'd be a talking point while people are waiting for photos....

To be fair, wasn't that Picasso and a napkin?

This could launch OP into the stratosphere of Facebook Marketplace glittery shit in time for Christmas.

coffeorbust · 19/10/2023 19:19

Paint something swirly, cut up potatoes are great for adding depth, tell him it's modern art and cost a fortune. If anyone complains roll your eyes and tssk at the philistines

RubyBoozeDay · 19/10/2023 19:23

I would go to a charity shop and buy the biggest framed picture you can find, then put your own drawing in the frame. Insist it is for over the mantlepiece and sulk furiously when you see they have replaced it with a tasteful watercolour of Lake Windemere instead of your potato print masterpiece.
