I love the Crab apple, Zen brush and Flower. Lovely composition, color, and introspective. Your other creations seem to be impulsive, spontaneous and intense. A bit too much for me to comprehend and digest but I,m sure meaningful to you.
Thanks for sharing.

Lovely work. I especially like the Zen Brush Drawing and Visitor Brings a Flower. Pay no attention to disrespectful comments, only to healthy critique.
I like the Bandits and Clerks Dance, too.

"By the way...Pablo Picasso once said that he had "...spent his whole life learning to paint like a child."
Picasso was an excellent draftsman and his early works demonstrated it. On a lark he did his Cubism thing and was surprised to find people liked it so he gave them what they wanted.
Take a look at American Artist Magazine to see what people who have much more money than taste are buying these days. They even praised a woman who goes up on stage and poops in paper cupcake holders. Her assistants then go through the audience and sell her "art"! Maybe some of them admire and collect your work too...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and while some of the pictures are not my style, I find others really interesting and thought provoking. Abstract images are teasers, make you think, what do i see here. I liked them and would like to see some more.

Okay, everyone...for good or not, I'm staying. I will get back to photography and try not to distract.
Not distracting at all - thanks for sharing.
Wait minute!
this is the NON-photograph chit-chat.
Want call a foul on ART?
Then get people to stop writing about computers
Then get people to stop sending jokes
Then get people to stop sharing life view
Then get ready for a whole bunch of US TO LEAVE....
I totally agree with you. But it's all in the taste because otherwise there wouldn't have been a Picasso. I like art that looks like photographs and photographs that look like the real world. Start at Zion and work outwards.
Ok, that comment of mine was in answer to the man who said his six year old could do better than that.

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.
You call that art? Looks like a 4 year old got into the paint. I wouldn't pay 3 cents for all of it.

This is creative in a powerful way....keep at it...it moved me.
It sure did, off the curb and into a shelter.
OK a 6 year old and 4year old????
what if you found out a wonderful photo
was made by a 5 years old?
(Maybe not too difficult given the equipment of today.)
We can solve all this please only submit prints
made from 8x10 B&W negatives...and only of landscapes.
And forget that variety is the SPICE of life......

I love when people say it looks like a child painted it. They have absolutely no idea how difficult it is to create a work of art. Before you criticize, pick up a brush and try it yourself.
You kidding? I could do what he did dead drunk. Doesn't take talent to put that slop together. Just some booze.

Picasso on steroids. I'm an artist who prefers realism but I like these very much. Bright, cheerful, fun and yes, painted in a childlike way but refined to a high degree. Don't pay attention to the nay sayers here. There's only a few. They like to imply that they are expert judges of art or photography. Their opinions are often due to closed minds. They're stuck in a box of their own restrictions. They aren't able to appreciate anything outside of their own preferences. It's not about you and your work, it's about their inadequacies.
