You should try photographing.Some more random pictures. I was near the beach when I was getting freebies at an outlet mall so I stopped to take some photos. A picture of the sunset is on one of my runs. And then of course is me continuing to run through snow.View attachment 294364 View attachment 294365 View attachment 294366
As you can probably tell, I like painting mountains.
Not too bad for someone who's only really been painting for about six months. I just need to start building more convincing trees.

Those mountains are gorgeous! I'm impressed that you've only been at it for 6 months. You're doing fantastic!
I have the same reaction to abstract art. Or viewing it anyways. Especially the sort where it's literally just dribbles of paint on canvas (Pollock) or fuzzy squares of contrasting colour (Rothko). I just can't enjoy it at all. It doesn't speak to me. Impressionism is fun, though. Van Gogh is one of my faves as well. I love Turner too, especially some of his middle period stuff, before it got super washed out, but after he stopped doing very detailed landscapes. They both had a great eye for colour, which is something I struggle with a lot when I make art. It looks like you have a natural eye for colour, though.I was doing abstract (or 'modern art') for a few months before that, but BOY did that get boring. The first few times are fun, but I couldn't ever live on it. It's such a self indulgent art form. Plus, art materials deserve more respect than that.
I moved over to landscape paintings after being wowed by some of Bierstadt's work. I'd like to eventually find a happy halfway between Bierstadt and Van Gogh (my two favourites). Y'know, detail within expressive, impasto style brush strokes.
I'm one of those sorts of people who can't do ANYTHING halfheartedly. I become an anorak at just about everything I do - even something as banal as consuming soft drinks will quickly become a global pursuit. I think I've drunk Monster in about 15 different counties (?) in order to experience the FULL portfolio - even those little glass bottles in Japan and the obscurely sized cans in China. Sightseeing was secondary to my soda pop quest.
I think they call it Autism lol. That or too many years as a single man.

What media do you like to use? Is this one acrylic?
lol Sounds like me. I get extremely obsessive about stuff. I'm like 99% sure I'm autistic, though only mildly. It runs in my dad's family. But I've never been diagnosed. Girls rarely are, even later in life.
Does Monster really taste that different in different locations? I've heard soft drinks vary a bit by location, but never knew the differences were that pronounced.
