Sorry - I failed to see anything on your
site that would qualify as "paintings"
much less as "art." This is a joke, right?

It's a goddamn shame when art teachers feel like they have to discourage
talent because it come from a different idea from their own. Maybe what we
need is a larger map of the world, maybe that would remind us to be able to

aren't any professional teachers around willing to give this
talented artist some constructive critisism in the rendering of some of the
transluscent qualities of fruits & veggies.
But the Oklahoma Summer landscape was probably the strongest of the group.
In general, based on the group of works you posted, my comment would be to
keep going on the color experiments.
It's pretty obvious that you already have a strong vocabulary, so you must
enjoy playing around with colors. Keep looking
for different kinds of contrasts. When working with transparency, try to
contrast it with opacity and then strike a balance between the two.
Also, shadows or values. Every color has a value. It's the shadows, or
darkness of the colors that bring to your compositions the
opprotunity for illusionistic effects such as atmosphere and volume of forms
in space. A good experiment when working with a
single color is to ask simply, how dark can I mix this color so that it
still retains its identity as a hue? It can be suprising to see the
range of color you can achieve with just a couple yellows and a tube of
black.
Keep going

You came here asking for a "critique" of your
work, and I gave you my reaction to what
appeared to me to be some sort of juvenile
joke.
I should certainly know better by now than to respond
to anyone asking for a "critique" since what
that usually means is "please look at my exceptional
work and tell me how wonderful it is!"
And then when they learn what others think
they are too petty to take the criticism for
what it is - "CRITICISM." If you want praise,
go find your mother or someone who wants to
spare your feelings. And grow up before trying
to mingle with adults in what is normally an
adult forum. I keep forgetting that anyone of
any age can and probably does post here. I'll
do my best to factor in age in the future.

Looking at your paintings.
Ten is monochrome squares and, in this format is fairly uninteresting -
it might be a nice wall hanging in reality.
Twelve is bland and uninteresting.
Daybreak is nice and shows some promise. I think more detail - or some
figure in the foreground would help.
Thirteen, the still life, is nice but naive. I think you should explore
the texture of the subject more. Try acrylic - water-colour is very
difficult in making this sort of picture work.
Oklahoma is good. It has a good secret feel about it. Looking out of the
cave at the distance is good framing. A sense of mystery is there and
the sunrise/sunset colours are well portrayed. An interesting picture -
some good detail too.
Heatstroke is too decorative, not bad colours, but it doesn't say
anything.
Mood2 is very derivative. It might have raised eyebrows in 1890, but it
says nothing today.
Tangerine might be OK as a wall panel in an office.
Fourteen is poor composition. If you want us to see the stars, or the
sky or something you have to arrange it. It has no focus or lead in and
no atmosphere. It looks as if you weren't really trying here.
So, does that help?
Look at my site. http://www.psyche.demon.co.uk and let me know what you
think of my pictures.

a while. I've hesitated studying other artists up to this point, because I
wanted to develop a style that was uniquely my own -- I didn't want to
pilfer someone else's style (whether conciously or unconciously).
In so far as "rules", I believe there has to be some in any style, abstract
or not. Colour composition and the placement of shapes -- doesn't there
have to be a certain cohesion? A certain "right" fit? Maybe the rules are
placed by the artist, and not the person viewing the art.
Make any sense at all?

As for your own work, I would have to say that my two favourites are "Pan"
and "Bombed House With Vase". Some of the paintings are
disturbing.....haunting. Pan was both disturbing and amusing. Bombed House
was just a riot of colour that excited me.

It is very difficult to evaluate work on
the web and I don't usually do it but
I'll make an exception.
1) Your work is not dated so it is
difficult for me to see a trend over
time.
2) I have difficulty sensing your
overall aesthetic sense. I can't get a
clear grasp of your space construction
method especially in your more
geometrical works.
You may want to consider taking a look
at a book on Ben Nicholson's works (a
British artist). He did very interesting
work on space construction using urban
colours. Some of your geometrics are
similar except you use more colour. But
he does have a definite aesthetic
approach, which I think you should look
for.
I agree with your evaluation of
'Oklahoma Summer landscape", I would not
consider it one of your best.
take care: keith

Tim S.:
Webster's defines it as this.
Main Entry: crit·i·cism
Pronunciation: 'kri-t&-"si-z&m
Function: noun
Date: 1607
1 a : the act of criticizing usually unfavorably b : a critical observation
or remark c : CRITIQUE
2 : the art of evaluating or analyzing works of art or literature
So, giving a critique doesn't necessarily entail only negative observations
and your original reply was nowhere close to an evaluation. It was an
insult.

Tim S.:
Does anyone else find it odd that J.P., although insinuating that the art in
question had zero merit whatsoever, did not provide any support for this
assertion? Usually a critique contains REASONS why it is under par.
So, why waste time flaming when you could either reply with your question of
age (so the critic isn't unduly harsh) or just critique it by your own
standards? Maybe you were having a rough day.

Any newsgroup will advise you to read posts for a week or two and then to
gradually become part of the group. You are very silly. You received one rude
response and have posted rebuttals for days now. How can you be an artist and
exhibit your work? Do you think any artist has nothing but fans? There will be
other artists, critics and arts professionals that will give harsh criticism to
anyone at any level and if you can't take the heat get out of the studio.
You have 10 paintings on your website? This is a body of work? What dimensions?
Medium?
There are people here at all levels so don't expect the same responses you'd
received from friends and family. Your website is very nicely designed but the
art is not even prominent as you "Things I hate" List. Make some more art. READ
and LEARN about art and artists or no one will take you seriously. Of course
people hate to make art that is a copy of another artist but learning about
artists won't turn you into a clone, it will give you knowledge and so far that
seems to be lacking from both your posts and your site.
Also, you should learn how to write an artist's statement and include it. There
is more about your life then about art.
PS. No resume? Never exhibited?
Like Jean Pule, I rarely look at the "look at my artwork" postings. I won't
repeat this error. It was NOT worth the trip.
Carol Ott
Sometimes people do submit their websites under the guise of wanting a
critique -- when all they really want is "hits". Which to me is completely
silly, when it's a personal website and has no commercial value whatsoever.

by other artists whether we actively seek out their work or not. We do not
create in a vacuum. We are influenced by all we see and we are constantly
bombarded by images.
Also there is no use in re inventing the wheel. Seek out other artists whose
work you admire. Study art history. Your style is already influenced whether
you recognize it or not.

Many of us here are jaded because art today seems to be about doing the
least possible with as little skill or foresight as one can muster, then
hiring a great publicist to market the work at great expense to the most
gullible curator.
After decades of seeing museums hanging "canvases" covered in almost
anything an "artist" could throw at them, I find it hard to believe
software is going to make art seem easier or more accessible to anyone.

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone

need to look closely at this person's
"invitation" to "critique" and what
is said about the very minimal number
of "art works" on the web site. MOST
of them are DIGITAL IMAGES (well, in
fact all are) that were created from
scratch using minimal computer skills
that any child could do better, IMHO!
And that's why I reacted the way I did.
To call these minimal efforts "art work"
is a bit of a stretch, IMHO! But others
disagree and that's fine - disagreement

I think the size and cut of the thumnails give a misleading impression with

traditional art materials. The only "digital" aspect of them is that they
were either scanned directly, or photographed and scanned for the web. Six
are traditional paints, and five are digital.
As far as my computer skills go, I think mine can go head to head with
anyone here. I've been doing this for a long time (working with computers
and digital art).

So you're not a fan of Pollock, Rothko and a vast array of other so-called
"artists" who also produce works that would easily be copied by any child
who was allowed near the paint shed?

I am in indeed. And to tell you why would
require me to reinvent art criticism of
the past fifty years. If you can't understand
the implications of these artists on the
larger world of art, then you have a problem,
not me.
