It reminds me of the picture frames that were in my grandmother's house, they loved them and so did my mother, so I think they are spectacular. They match with antique furniture like the ones in that house.
I have also seen the paintings of the first technique, I wouldn't have them in my house but I recognise the different style.
I like the picture of the three women, very classic and the one painted on cardboard is beautiful. I painted on cardboard twice and the texture is very smooth, even more so than on board. I even used enduido to create relief on the cardboard and then painted over the two textures... I remember it was a deer.
What a beautiful sample even if the artist calls himself pathetic... courage, yes!
I call this style "heavy" and coupled with matching furniture, it's even heavier 😀 but I understand as back in the youth of your grandparents, this was the style.
We agree on that as not many would admit their work is pathetic, not even as a joke. I value it a lot.
Yes, it's true, it's a thoughtful style... I grew up with that furniture around me.
Great week!🤗
