I like to paint, but I really dont know any other artists, and I dont know alot about art terminology. Can anyone tell me what style of painting my work is? I would like to know so I can find others to talk to about this purticular field. Is this any good?

If you want to give this style of painting a title then it certainly isn't 'Pop' or 'Op' Art.
There has only been one American painter who ever became recognized and famous doing paintings using letters and numbers in them and this was Stuart Davis, who created this style way before (during the 1940s through the 1950s) Pop Art or Op Art.
Your painting, though not exactly like his, does display the same elements of style that Stuart Davis became known for.
Here is a link that will give you some insight into what group your painting would fit into. Look at his famous painting called 'Visa' (1951) or 'Owh!' (also from 1951).

I like your painting, by the way. You asked if it's any good? Yes, it's good. Trust me, you can sell this painting. But you do need to take better photographs of your art.

I agree with Doctor W... that your art is not Pop Art or Op Art. I have now seen more than one artist who uses text as a basis for work, who is well-known. There are many artists doing this who are still waiting to become appreciated by the American public. Your facility with the paint and brush is admirable. Do lots of research into art. I also recommend you get an art education. It will give you the wider view, and put you in contact with many art professionals who can send you even further in the direction you are headed. Your work is excellent. Keep going.

It's pop art. It's nice because in pop art, you draw what appeals to you.
