Painting

I have been painting for 2 years using mixed medium, mainly landscapes and seascapes. I will be attending college in September to gain a certificate OCN 1 as I feel this may open up opportunites to display my work. Do you think it will help? Also do you know of any good sites where others can view my paintings?

I know a guy who does these really wild paintings, and they are composed well (to my eyes), but unlike famous abstract artists like Picasso, this guy can not ALSO draw or paint reality or illistrate at ALL, but he seems to have this amazing abilty to swirl patterns, drawing images out of what to me seems like cloud gazing. Is it possible to be respected as a painter/artist when you can't draw? It sort of seems like his imagery is "found" from random shapes. The whole thing about fine art versus illustration gets to me to. Sometimes I see what is supposed to be a piece of fine art, that is nothing more than an illustration on canvas, but you don't see cartoonists passing off every frame of their artwork as a piece of fine art, if they COULD do that, they would cut every frame out and trace it on a canvas.. Who says what is fine art? I think it's all BS sometimes, because the composition is judged subjectively.

I saw a red circle on a white background and someone told me that was art. It might be art but it is not good art. If one is going to place a piece of art in public it should be good art. I am told it is really hard to paint a really red circle. Ok so its hard, but it is definitely not creative!

My favorite painter is Maxfield Parrish, and I'm especially fond of "The Lantern Bearers" by him. it reminds me of my childhood, and it's warmth and emotion never fails to touch me. What's your favorite painting, who's it by, and why do you like it?

The school trailer will be used for fourth and fifth grade science classes. The trailer is very run-downed on the outside and needs a new paint job, i wanted to be creative though.
