24. Love, love, LOVE your style!

The colors are extraordinary! I don't know much about painting styles, but a couple of your paintings reminds me of a sort of folk art style. (the brothers is one)

I love vibrant colors, and paintings/prints that draw you in...or out...like a window that adds cheerfulness to a room.

You need to get some more done, and try to sell them.

I'd buy the goldfish one if I saw it somewhere (if I thought the orange would work for me; I have a thing against orange). But the red flowers and other colors might negate that, and the orange isn't overpowering.

I love the brothers painting. Heck, I really love them all!

I don't see how people have the patience to paint. It'd drive me nuts. I've tried drawing a few times (I did okay...painting runs in my family), but I found it drove me crazy trying to get those pictures right and sitting there for hours. Some people can do that. I have a sister who paints. She's very talented, and very laid back. So she can sit quietly and work on her paintings.

Your paintings are fabulous LearnedHand May 2019 #1
