VictoriArt aka LoLs Leisure

you ought to sell them to holiday makers they would snatch them up..you could paint all winter.. The wall is also excellent if i had a gift like yours then i would make some money..you could even see if you could sell the local image as a postcard..

 

Thank you, Hornbeam ... from you that IS a compliment!

I just "consulted" t'other half again and he thinks the shadows of the chines are not right ... but then again, he is not an artist and obviously I see things differently!

 

You have more faith than I, wildflower! You are so kind.

I may well attempt to sell them as we have no room for any of them here. We are "trying" to be minimilistic now ... ye, gads, what AM I going to do with all this stuff in boxes in the house and what's in the van? :eek: And we don't have paintings on the walls here, only a huge mirror ... in the living room, I'll quickly add! :D All rooms, barring the bathroom and kitchen have 15 foot ceilings at an angle so there is potential. I said to t'other half earlier, perhaps in the hall we could have a mini photo gallery ???? Who knows ??? I'll let you know.

Well LOL - you know the problem as well as I do. Non artists often find fault with painting because it does not look "exactly right". If we want a picture to look exactly right we can use a camera. The whole point is to make a picture that says something about how we feel about it. So we add something from within ourselves. No point in slavishly copying a photograph. Its the extra way of seeing that the artist conveys to the viewer that is the key to all art. More please - they are excellent

 

LOL.Your talent is as good as everyone else's on here.I am certainly no artist,but I know what I like and I certainly love what you have done.There is none that I could say I don't like,because to my eyes they are brill :D :D

Hope you do sell them to the tourist's and earn yourself some well deserved income.

Hope your holiday went ok and you had some nice weather

 

HB, thank you for your moral support. Kandy, thank you also for your kind words and perhaps I will think about selling them as I have no room for them!

As far as my "holiday" went, it was not a holiday. I think I said I was going to clear out our apartment as we had sold it ... it was a nightmare. I have never been so tired in my life. Four days there packing, visits to solicitors (no agents involved), a grocery/garden centre/Matalan trip. One night we were in bed by nine .... to go to sleep! :eek:

 

Sorry LOL,that you had an exhausting time.I should have said clear out instead I think

 

Just seen this LofL - your paintings are very good indeed. You say youre not sure about the Village in the Snow - well I am a sucker for a snowy pic (its the old romantic in me!! )and I think its lovely

You are very talented and should do some more

 

Adore the egyptian wall hanging - beautiful

 

Thank you both, marge and sheppy.

 

Really like that wall-hanging!! Hours of work must have gone into that one! :D

 

Love the acrylic Arizona Sunset picture LOL

Reminds me of 'From Dusk Till Dawn' with George Clooney. :D

 

You're my kind of man, BM George Clooney, Quentin Tarrantino, Juliet Lewis and Harvey Keitel (not forgetting Cheech)! Seriously good ZZ Top style music by . Never saw the movie! :D :D :D

 

Coo - remember seeing Harvey Keitel in The Piano ... sooo sexy
