Does this ever happen to you? Go you ever go through a stage where what you’re doing may be pretty to look at but you know it lacks real substance?

Here are some of my ‘easy on the eyes’ fluff paintings:

(If you just have to see more details you can click on the images to enlarge them.)

Do you create your best work when you're in some kind of emotional pain? Under stress? Lonely? And does having a happy life equate to painting 'happy' paintings?

My mother has always said that she would like a watercolor done of our house, and I think this would be a great gift idea for her upcoming birthday. Does anyone know of a company or artist that can make me a watercolor if I send them a photo?

Thanks :)

First, how can I tell for sure if it's acrylic vs. oil? Second, is there a special gesso for acrylic? Third, there's a very slight (almost unnoticable) dent in the canvas. Any way to repair this? Would adding some sort of texture help? If so, what are some ways to do that? (Sorry for my ignorance. I'm almost exclusively a pencil artist. I haven't painted since high school!)

FYI: It is a very ameauturish painting. Just black paint on what looks like a naked gesso background. The subject matter is unmentionable. I got a strange look from the store clerk when I bought this and a fellow customer was very vocal about her discust!!! There are just no words to discribe how ugly this is!!

Please, help me! I would love to put this poor canvas out of it's misery!!!

She had never had a lesson before but ended up creating a new style of landscape painting. She had always wanted to paint but factors in her life made it difficult.

Her story is an inspiration to anyone wanting to start/try something but might feel its too late.

I cant remember where i read it and am having trouble finding out her name so i can tell other people.

Anyone know?

yes yes I know I shouldn't of put water colors down on canvas, but it's done so onto the solution. This painting has both water colors and acrylics and I'm looking for a matte finish. I've thought about varnish or just a spray on matt protective, but I'm worried about the effects on the watercolors. Please help!!

yesterday I walked into this "funky" new brewery in town. I was looking around and noticed that they haven't put any art up yet, however, I realized that I have a couple of paintings that I've created which beautifully match their color scheme. What is the protocal for art in an establishment, and what is the asking price? I have a lot of paintings but I wasn't prepared to sell them yet...I was planning on selling prints and posters since people keep trying to make me offers! I even considered donating my art to this place because I think it would be such a perfect fit! Any suggestions?

There is a small town that start with M near a big city in Normandy, that has a church near to the rocks(beach).
In this church there should be a wall fresco of a famous painter who lived around 1878. Any ideas?

I was surfing the Net when I got into this site. It displayed paranormal news, explanations, images, videos, etc. I had seen some of the pictures mainly unexplained. But one picture made me a little uncomfortable, though it was quite interesting. I think you should have a look for yourself.

I don't know if it is authentic or edited. Never tried to do the same to the picture of the painting. Maybe because of its restorations that made me skeptical.

Just want your opinions about this. You could give some information if you know some as well.

I have seen wonderful landscapes painted by artists in the 1700's. Why isn't anyone painting like this anymore? Is it because no one knows how ? It's out of style? I have searched online and can not find any current artist that create equal paintings.

In this painting Lucifer is portrayed more as a warrior angel. He is wearing red and black armor and holding a sword as if he is about to strike. The style I'm not sure but I'm guessing realist.

I've been doing a series of seascapes, my last one was a sunset @ 30"x 36" or so. Also been doing some plein air painting. Love it.

To clarify further, which do you think would be more favourably recieved?

Person A has years of formal training, paints what is considered art or accepted by the general public as something that is precise and near-photorealistic.

Person B has absolutely no training. They paint what their minds or emotions tells them, taking on their own interpretation of things, be it a flourescent landscape or an abstract and surreal still-life.

Which would you appreciate more?
