22. Did she also do the colorful sky with clouds painting?

I'll bet she did, so beautiful!

[msatty99]

23. If you are referring to the blog post, yes. She did.

25. Excellent post, and while I won't post the sunset pic, I'd love it you would...

It's not my art so I won't post it.

Love it!

Thanks!

27. That's the one! And it features two unmistakeable elements of a real true sat-there-looking-at-it..

...sky scape:

First, you can't make up those shapes and colors; you have to be looking at them (or a damned good photo) while you paint.

Second, just like real clouds, you can see different things in them; that one on the right looks like a puppy jumping!

Awesome.

I would buy that painting, is it for sale?

[msatty99]

28. I don't know...

I would have to ask her. She's out for her swim right now.

Hey! I can see the puppy too! LOL

[msatty99]

29. She wouldn't give me a price.

She is 'funny' about that sort of stuff.

5. Really beautiful...

How big are they?

[msatty99]

8. about 10" by 10" ,,,something like that. eom.

[TuxedoKat]

6. Nice work

Beautiful colors, her work reminds me of Van Gogh!

[MuseRider]

7. LOL love it!

I have a huge chicken picture in my house. I love it.

Nice work!

[msatty99]

9. Thanks to all

She is so funny, she always thinks..."it's not any good". I thought maybe by posting it here and on my blog and
when she saw the comments she would get a boost.

I KNOW they are good.

11. They are very good. I like them a lot.

Thank you for sharing them here.

10. Egg-cellent!

[BlueJazz]

12. Good job. Your wife is very talented. Ask her if she talks to them. (using foul language)

I'm sorry.

[msatty99]

13. She sometimes says "cock."

[msatty99]

14. My wife made me take down

the blog article that had a few more of her paintings. SMH.

[IcyPeas]

15. fantastic. /eom

16. Excellent brushwork, use of colors and composition

It's a very good rendition of the birds too. I'm an artist too and it's excellent and compelling work. Your wife need to face the fact that she's an artist. I like the use of simple straightforward brushstrokes to give a feeling of intricate and detailed artwork. Her use of layered paint gives the painting a very interesting aura of light and movement, which draws the eyes in to explore.

I like it very much.

17. Thanks lunatica

I am going to show her these messages. She never believes me. LOL!

[lunatica]

18. I thought maybe a critique from a fellow artist might make her pay attention to you

Just to say you like the art isn't always enough for an artist to hear. But to say why and how you like it might convince her that she has a technique that is appreciated by people who have an eye for that sort of thing.

19. Here's a portrait of our daughter

21. I love that! I have done drawing portraits of children too

Here's one that I particularly like. It's charcoal on vellum. Show it to your wife so she knows I'm not kidding in what I say. She should say it with pride. She's an artist.

[msatty99]

24. Wow..

This is really good. Thanks for sharing...and I WILL show it to her.

[msatty99]

30. Bump

[msatty99]

31. Once again...............and then I am done. eom.
