Gazebo (Acrylic on Canvas)


I’m not a fan of the color pallet (green and purple/pink? ugh!) but this is pretty good otherwise. Not great, just…good. 

Ocean Waves and Beach (Acrylic on Canvas)


Impressionist-y but with like almost zero effort I think? Really underwhelming. Sorry :/

Watermelon (Acrylic on Canvas)


 Tedious. Verrrry tedious.

Mountain Sun (Acrylic on Canvas)

I can’t think of anything nice to say about this. Except that, if you squint, it kind of looks like…a hamburger?

Particoloured Eye (Acrylic on Canvas)

Pretty uninteresting. Also there are the colors, awful black butterflies, and weird blue FASD corner eye droop to contend with. 

The coup de grâce? There’s too much white canvas left remaining. I hate that…

 

Something (Something on Something)


This thing was shrink-wrapped but appeared to be real amateur Art. It is far too weird to be a print or lithograph or anything done professionally by any stretch of the imagination. If someone has an idea of what the hell this is supposed to be, I’d love it if you clued me in.

Landscape and Building (Watercolor on Parchment)


I like it.

While Comparisons are Odious, the bold lines of that rope in the right foreground feel a bit Van Gogh-like. Nice moody colors, confident composition. I wish we could read the signature. Suedely? Smalley? Sally? Not really sure…

Turtle-Turkey-Peacock (Acrylic on Canvas)


Not sure what it is, but it’s not bad. It’s bold, confident and seemingly not trying too hard to be weird in a “look at me look at me” kind of way. The colors and lines are assertive. Cartoony. Despite how absurd this thing is, it came rather close to being a (Value) Village Art Gallery Favorite. Keep at it, Shel :)
