Flowers in Mason Jar (Acrylic on Canvas)

(Value Village Art Gallery Favorite)

I won't go so far as to say that I love this, but I do like it very very much. There's clearly a Van Gogh vibe here. If it's not an intentional imitation of Van Gogh, then it is so "Accidentally Van Gogh"...that I find myself totally charmed by it. But it's bound to be intentional. 

Cons? I could do without the butterfly. And having Ball on the jar is a bit much for my taste: it detracts from the overall timeless feel. But that's just me. The colors are great. This is legit a fun, engaging painting. Good job, dude/dudette. Look me up and we'll talk.

 

Polka Dot Whale (Acrylic on Canvas)


I know, it's actually a whale shark. Whatever. 

Yes, it looks like what it's supposed to be, but this stuff is freaking exhausting. So many people are doing the same type of stuff. I have far more respect for flowers in a Ball jar than I do for stuff like this.

Case in Point. Otherwise known as Deja Vu: https://valuevillageartgallery.blogspot.com/2023/03/night-galley-whale.html?m=1
