Art is one of my passions, and it is a nice way for me to make extra money to help feed my family. Your feedback is very helpful for me to know if my pictures will look good as a greeting card. Is this a picture you would like to give or receive as a greeting card, and why or why not? If you were to send this as a greeting card, to whom would you send it, and congratulations, etc.)? Again, your feedback is very much appreciated!

I think it looks nice, although the angle looks a little awkward. I think it would make a good card for a parent of a pilot. Maybe when they graduate aviation school, their parent could send them this card. It would also be good for other things. Different people have different tastes.


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback! I wish I knew more pilots, but for some reason people have seemed to like my paintings that have aircraft in them. I think there is something in airplanes and flying that reminds people of freedom.

Your picture is lovely. It will sell I am sure as a greeting card. I would like to give or receive it as it is so pretty. I would use it for almost anything.
I am an artist. I worked at Disney World as a silhouette artist.
Go look at my website: www.mgcreativearts.com
Let me know if I can help you in any way. Do you have any training in art? What mediums have you used?


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

I am glad you responded, and thanks for the kind feedback! I have already looked at your website and like the watercolors very much. I was also very impressed with the silhouette art (that must take patience!) If you are interested, I strongly suggest that you look into contacting Richard at thecardartists.com and see about having your watercolors sold as greeting cards, I think they would make excellent cards. Thecardartists.com is a new site, so I cannot say that it would replace your income at this point, but the more talented artists who are on it, the more exposure we will all get!

By the way, I just have high school and a semester of college art education (before I switched majors.) I have been scribbling things on paper my entire life as a hobby, and truly hope I can spend my later years supporting my family through painting. Watercolor is my favorite medium by far, but sometimes I will paint in acrylic. Were you yourself trained in college?


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

I took another look at your site and answered my own question- LA Trade Tech College and Traphagen Fashion Institute in NY. Anyway, your paintings are great!

hi my friend, i loved your response to my topic. you really explained beautifully. thanks for making me your friend. if you had not i would myself has sent you a friendship request.
and yessssss
its really a beautiful picture. bcz the happy faces of you and the little baby who is the main object (as i think) for this picture are clearly visible and also the angle from which the picture has taken is good. its really a good pic and i would really like to send it to a friend who is going to be a father very soon. but the pic might be more beautiful if you were wearing a dark colored T shirt bcz it will make more contrast with the fair color of you and your baby's faces making them more visible.


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

Andrew I love this painting. It just reminds me of laying down in a park and just watching life go by with all its beauties, and it would be great to give as a card because it would remind people of that peacefulness. I would send this to just about anybody for almost any reason. It is such a good visual for so many occasions. Hope this helps

Thanks Cadi! And thanks for joining mylot! Welcome aboard,

Sincerely,

your cousin

My father was an artist and I have his leanings though not his talent. I like the image as it is not from a view we often see. Brings to me images of laying under a maple tree.
But I dislike airplanes for the damage they do to the quiet of my country residence.


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

Thank you for your feedback! I never thought about the noise that planes make when I painted this. What seemed to me like a quiet, calmer picture might very well remind people of a noisy prop plane disturbing their peace. I think a very peaceful picture would have to involve a glider. Look forward to chatting (or debating) soon!

hey nice peice of art. i do painting in oil. looking at the airplane through the woods. is that a spot painting?


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

Thank you for the nice comment! I saw your profile- did you do the painting on it? It is nice.

I am not sure what you mean by "spot painting."

I love the way oils look, but don't have the patience to paint with them. They take to long to dry, and I don't like to clean up after painting in oils. I think they make for amazing works of art though, and respect artists who use that medium.

9. myLot reputation of 73/100. Lavera1 (718)   3 years ago

Yes I like your pictures. And I'd like to see it on a greeting card. The person I'd like to send it to would be my daughter because she just had a baby girl in October and she looks just like me!


ConservativeArtist (91)  3 years ago

Thank you for your kind comment, and congratulations on your new grandchild! It's amazing how much babies are little "mini-mes!" If in the future, you want a custom watercolor painting done of your new granchild (maybe as a unique gift for your daughter), then I would be happy to paint one, using a photo as a reference. They are pretty inexpensive as far as art goes - $75-$125.

You can visit my website at www.mesart.com/agillet27 if you want to see more of my art, and I always welcome your feedback.

Best regards!
