Wolf in the Woods (Acrylic on Canvas)

I’m gonna be brutally honest: while there is definitely some talent here, this is without a doubt the gayest-looking wolf I have ever seen. And seeing as how this painting is from 1982, we might just have some kind of Furry urtext thing going on here. And don’t even get me started on the pink and blue!

“Giiiiiiiddy-up!!!”

Another Freaking Flower in the Dark (Acrylic on Canvas)

We had a couple of these a few days ago. I’m not sure who is responsible for these…objects…but they need to go away.

Artist: flowers need the sun and daylight to grow. Stop sticking these poor things in the dark.

 

Untitled (Acrylic on Wooden Board)

Unreal. Just…unreal…that we have gotten in SO many really decent paintings in one day. 

This is the weakest of the Really Good Ones, but it’s still quite nice. Even though it’s abstract-y, which isn’t generally my favorite milieu (hey lookit me using dem fancy woids!)

Anyway. Nice work, artist. Keep at it :)

“Wandering Woman” (Watercolor on Paper)

Really nice. Very very appealing: stark, minimalist, but lots of motion and feeling. Almost a “Favorite” here as well. 

What a wonderful day this has been :)

Mushrooms (Acrylic on Canvas)

This one came very Very VERY close to being installed as a (Value Village Art Gallery Favorite), but one thing kept it from being allowed to join the illustrious ranks of said category here. Anyone want to guess why? Regulars here should be able to figure it out.

REGARDLESS, this is a very nice painting: appealing, reasonably competent, and well composed. We expect to hear good things about this artist one day and have Great Expectations for his or her future. Well done, my friend…

 

Spooky Swamp (Acrylic on Canvas)

 

(Value Village Art Gallery Favorite)

Well we haven’t added a “Favorite” to our gallery in quite a while but this one without a doubt fits the bill and is an enthusiastic YES from Curator SadHoboClown himself (otherwise known as me): this is certainly one of the nicest and most artistically competent/appealing/confident paintings we’ve seen here in quite a while. And believe it or not, we may have another one (or two?) to add this very same day. It’s a veritable Embarrassment of Riches for sure.

This one? There’s just something about it that feels…real. Nice composition. Nice colors and shadows. Like you could walk right into this canvas. I dig it.

M Bonnett: whoever you are, wherever you are - Nice work! 👍
