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.

I don't know who told you can paint, but my grand kids were painting like this when they were six year old's.

You really are a negative person.

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."

Oh, one last note....did someone nail your feet to the floor and force you to look at my work? If you don't like it...go ...no, I won't say it.
Just go enjoy your paintings of cute puppy dogs or whatever couch art you prefer.

Beautiful, very interesting and creative. Must see more, Thanks.

Hummm, I don't necessarily go either way on art. But.......

I'm with you, don't care what this guy says. If I drank about a half dozen Long Island's I might be able to duplicate that stuff. I guess I'm going to get a nasty remark about this post, the guy seems to be strung a little tight.

And by that age they no doubt
understood the art of painting better than you!
However this is a photography forum and the most interesting question to pose here in regard to these astounding examples is how they were photographed so well! I mean the exact details of camera etc, but mostly lighting, the physical setup, and is this a standard procedure for all paintings (the OP's alone or those of a group).
I would point out that on this forum and others discussions of how to photograph other flat forms of art often lack examples done as well as these.

Yes, yes, yes... I spent forty years seriously painting like an "Adult". I have spent the last ten trying to paint like a child.
I don't understand "OP's or those of a group."

So don't look. If you had some constructive criticism, you would be worth paying attention to, but you obviously just want to throw rocks.

Thank you sir...but you see, with my recent health issues ,( congestive heart failure) I just cannot get into stressful situations like the discussion of the last hour or so.m I did not expect to encounter such here,and I'm sorry to have to leave.

I was not even slightly surprised to see you quote Picasso on that, as it was what I saw in your paintings. For those who don't know, do a web search on the three words "self portrait picasso"; then look at his earliest and also at the last. Check out 3 or 4 in between, but first and last are the significant ones.
Picasso initially painted the detail of his subject, but by the time he died he painted only the essence, just like a child. He was well aware of that.

"OP" is the original poster, meaning you. I'm interested if the photography is strictly done for you, or if you are part of a group or organization that has art photographed (professionally perhaps).
This may have gone over a few heads here, but both the paintings and the photography are far above the average standard we might see in a forum for amateurs.

Thanks..I do my own pics of my work. Kind of sloppy at first ...about fifteen years ago...better now, somewhat. not a group or anyone doing it for me. I really don't know what I'm doing.

Few "experts" do as well...
