River and Bridge (Oil on Canvas)

 (Value Village Art Gallery Favorite)

This one made my day. Especially since we’ve gotten so many stinkers lately.

This did not feel like Mass Produced or Chinese-Art-Prison-Factory-type work to me so I am including it here as a lovely example of legit Human Personoid Art.

Mountain Scene (Paint inside Glass)

This thing is like…hand made / hand painted glass that was fired in a kiln? So there’s paint inside the glass. The purpose? A glass wall hanging maybe? Except there’s no way to hang it. The back had little risers so it could maybe be either a really big coaster or a fairly small trivet. Not sure. Almost no genuine talent was involved here, painting-wise. Sorry. It’s just very very average.

If this was a canvas, I’d be making far more of my usual snide, snarky, unkind comments, trust me.

Gorton’s Fish Sticks Santa (Acrylic on Canvas)

Really really weird. Not bad, from a painter/artist talent standpoint. But just really…weird. I don’t know what to make of it. I’m simply flummoxed!

Abstract (Acrylic on Canvas)

They’re okay. A little washed-out looking. But maybe that was the intent.

I don’t absolutely hate these. So…nice work!

Mountain Scene (Acrylic on Canvas)

As…ordinary as this is, it’s one of the better painting we’ve seen in a short while. This feels very…umm…who’s that guy that paints the Happy Trees? This feels like something done after watching a bunch of his programs. It’s not bad, it’s just…okay.

Some Kinda Cartoon Strip (Acrylic on Canvas)

No snark will be forthcoming. And to the little dude or little dudette responsible for this: you just keep onnnnn painting my friend :)

One of These Things Again (Acrylic on Canvas)

 Feh!

Flower (Acrylic on Canvas)

Really nice. Unfortunately the color pallet is a little dull and unappealing.

Just my two cents. What do I know anyway?

Fisherman’s Friend (Charcoal on Parchment)

Alternate title: Gorton’s Fish Sticks Fishermen.

Actually this is pretty decent. For what it is. I sure don’t know if I would’ve framed it though…

Beach Scene (Oil on Canvas)

This would be a “Value Village Art Gallery Favorite” if not for the pretty awful color pallet (various tinges of brown, green, brownish green, greenish brown, beige and grey.) 

It’s pretty nice except for the fact that looking at it makes me a little ill.

Fairy (Acrylic on Canvas)

The profile needs work. Holy smokes. Plus, we have the dreaded…Wasted Canvas!

Otherwise? It’s not utterly horrible.

Stutch (Acrylic on Canvas)

I think (?) this is a character from a Disney movie. Stutch maybe? Or Spatch? He’s an Illegal Alien that somehow winds up in Borneo and he has adventures with a chubby teenage surfer.

Two Thumbs Down 👎 👎 

Boots & Etc (Acrylic on Canvas)

Not good. Kitschy and cloying. This deserves to be at Value Village.
