Well, most of these are not to my taste, since I'm pretty traditional, but I certainly can see the merit in them. I have many friends who would like your work very much, so keep on painting. There are a couple there that might just grow on me.

And if not, somebody shoo me off, okay?

Okay. I'm a painter by either profession or dumb luck. And I'm told that some of the Gentlefolk in the "hog" might like to see a sampling of my stuff.
Well, remember..you asked for it.


Interesting work thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. There is a story that a lady was in Picasso's studio looking at one of his pictures and asked "Just what does THAT represent." His answer - "two hundred thousand dollars" - Dave

Bye the way(and I'm serious) Do good brushes help you paint better?

I don't know who told you that you were an art critic, but you have not the slightest clue. I have been making a living..and a good one..for over fifty years as a painter and teacher. My work is collected and admired the world over. Some of my stuff has sold for over $30k. So who the heck are YOU, based on looking at ten samples, to judge my work?

So much about "negative commentary" in this forum. You won't see more.

Goodbye.

By the way...Pablo Picasso once said that he had "...spent his whole life learning to paint like a child."

Now you know why this forum is called the Ugly Hedgehog.

No. You can paint like an angel using nothing but a stick.

Since we are talking Picasso...when he was 12 it was said he painted better than Rafael...and he could. But he spent the rest of his life trying to learn to paint like that proverbial six-year old. his father who was also a painter of some great merit, laid aside his brushes when Pablo was thirteen, and vowed never to paint again in the shadow of his son. Poor bastard.

For myself...I had spent 40 years painting like an "adult" and teaching others to do the same. I now have spent the last 15 learning , or trying to...what Pablo was attempting...to get back to that inner child. You see, at six they really do "get it". Then we take it away.

Clicker44, you seem to be a bit touchy about people who don't like your "art".

So I will just make a note to not look at any more of your posts.

Oh, my personal rule is to read all of a thread even when I decide I don't like it at the beginning just to see what is there and what others think.

And I have found that no matter what it is there is some artist who will do it, some art critic who will proclaim it great, someone with more money than brains who will buy it to show what great taste in "art" they have. While 90% plus of the population are wondering what the artist, critic and buyer are doing as their drug of choice. And laughing their asses off at all three. (Well some are just puzzled and feel sorry for them.)

Quite the opposite, my friend. I welcome constructive criticism...I will not abide attack dogs or folk who just want to throw rocks. Seems you are the latter.

Look or don't. I really don't care.
